Description

A history of essentially the most profitable company on this planet, Saudi Aramco, and the story in the back of the circle of relatives that ruthlessly maneuvered to regulate this multi-trillion dollar enterprise.

The Saudi royal circle of relatives and Aramco leadership are, and almost all the time have been, motivated by ambitions of long-term strength and profit.  They use Islamic law, traditional ideology, and harsh justice to take care of stability and their very own power, but underneath the thobes and abayas and in the back of the religious fanaticism and illiberalism lies a most sophisticated and ruthless business enterprise.  Nowadays, that corporation is poised to pull off the biggest IPO in history.

Over more than a century, fed by ambition and oil wealth, al Saud, as the royal circle of relatives is known, has come from next to nothing to rule as absolute monarchs, a contrast with the world around them and modernity itself.  The story starts with Saudi Arabia’s founder, Abdul Aziz, a lowly refugee embarking on a daring gambit to reconquer his circle of relatives’s ancestral home?the mud-walled city of Riyadh. It takes readers almost to present day, when the multinational circle of relatives business has made al Saud the wealthiest circle of relatives on this planet and at the cusp of a new transformation. 

Now al Saud and its circle of relatives business, Aramco, are embarking on their most ambitious move: taking the company public and preparing the country for the next generation.
