Kniha MBS Crown

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS CHOICE A gripping, behind-the-scenes portrait of the rise of Saudi Arabia s secretive and mercurial new ruler Revelatory . . . a vivid portrait of how MBS has altered the kingdom during his half-decade of rule. The Washington Post  Finalist for the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award  NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Financial Times Foreign Affairs  Kirkus ReviewsMBS is the untold story of how a mysterious young prince emerged from Saudi Arabia s sprawling royal family to overhaul the economy and society of the richest country in the Middle East and gather as much power as possible into his own hands. Since his father, King Salman, ascended to the throne in 2015, Mohammed bin Salman has leveraged his influence to restructure the kingdom s economy, loosen its strict Islamic social codes, and confront its enemies around the region, especially Iran. That vision won him fans at home and on Wall Street, in Silicon Valley, in Hollywood, and at the White House, where President Trump embraced the prince as a key player in his own vision for the Middle East. But over time, the sheen of the visionary young reformer has become tarnished, leaving many struggling to determine whether MBS is in fact a rising dictator whose inexperience and rash decisions are destabilizing the world s most volatile region. Based on years of reporting and hundreds of interviews, MBS reveals the machinations behind the kingdom s catastrophic military intervention in Yemen, the bizarre detention of princes and businessmen in the Riyadh Ritz-Carlton, and the shifting Saudi relationships with Israel and the United States. And finally, it sheds new light on the greatest scandal of the young autocrat s rise: the brutal killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents in Istanbul, a crime that shook Saudi Arabia s relationship with Washington and left the world wondering whether MBS could get away with murder. MBS is a riveting, eye-opening account of how the young prince has wielded vast powers to reshape his kingdom and the world around him.Praise for MBS Saudi Arabia is testing the extremes of tradition and innovation, of half-baked visions and intensifying repression. Ben Hubbard s authoritative reporting on the inner sanctums of its society offers a perfect synthesis of journalism and area expertise: the best description we have at the moment of why things happen as they do in the kingdom. Robert D. Kaplan, author of The Return of Marco Polo s World

Ben Hubbard - MBS HarperCollins Publishers

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A Financial Times Book Best Book of the Year 2020 A Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year 2020 The gripping, untold story of how Saudi Arabia's secretive and mercurial new ruler rose to power. Even in his youth as a prince among thousands of princes, Mohammed bin Salman nurtured sweeping ambitions. He wanted power - enough of it to reshape his hyper-conservative, insular Islamic kingdom.When his elderly father took the throne in 2015, MBS got his chance. As the hands-on-ruler, he made seismic changes, working doggedly to overhaul the kingdom's economy, loosen its strict Islamic social codes and confront nearby enemies, especially Iran. His vision initially won fans at home and abroad as he convinced other nations that the moment had come to bet big on Saudi Arabia.Over time, however, the sheen of the visionary young reformer has tarnished, leaving many wondering whether MBS is actually an aspiring dictator whose lack of experience and rash decisions are destabilizing the world's most volatile region. Based on years of reporting and hundreds of covert interviews, MBS provides new insights into Saudi Arabia's catastrophic military intervention in Yemen, the bizarre detention of the Lebanese prime minister, the surprise arrest of hundreds of princes and businessmen, and the greatest scandal of the young prince's rise: the brutal murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi state officials with links to MBS - a crime that shocked the world. A riveting portrait of a determined autocrat on the rise, MBS asks how one man's actions and obsessions are shaking the Middle East.

Deadly Connections Cambridge University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Thousands of people have died at the hands of terrorist groups who rely on state support for their activities. Iran and Syria are well known as sponsors of terrorism, while other countries, some with strong connections to the West, have enabled terrorist activity by turning a blind eye. Daniel Byman's hard-hitting and articulate book, first published in 2005, analyzes this phenomenon. Focusing primarily on sponsors from the Middle East and South Asia, it examines the different types of support that states provide, their motivations, and the impact of such sponsorship. The book also considers regimes that allow terrorists to raise money and recruit without providing active support. The experiences of Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Libya are detailed here, alongside the histories of radical groups such as al-Qaida and Hizballah. The book concludes by assessing why it is often difficult to force sponsors to cut ties to terrorist groups and suggesting ways in which it could be done better in the future.

Historia Iraku Książka i Wiedza

Książki > Historia > Historia świata

By zrozumieć Irak, trzeba przeczytać książkę Charlesa Trippa. Już od pierwszego wydania w 2000 r. stała się klasyczną pozycją w dziedzinie studiów bliskowschodnich, wysoko ocenianą przez studentów, wojskowych, polityków i dziennikarzy. Obecne uzupełnione wydanie uwzględnia ostatnią inwazję amerykańską na Irak, upadek i uwięzienie Saddama Husajna, a także konflikty wewnętrzne, które ogarnęły ten kraj. Można się również przekonać, że to, co nastąpiło po 2003 r., pokrywa się w większości z analizami zawartymi w książce. Tripp stawia tezę, że na obecną sytuacją Iraku złożyły się wszystkie wydarzenia w tym kraju  w XX w., proponuje też  alternatywne wizje przyszłości. Bez właściwego zrozumienia poruszonych w książce problemów - takich jak relacje patron-klient, przemoc zorganizowana, różnice sekciarskie, etniczne i plemienne - będą one nadal wpływały na przyszłość Iraku, tak jak to się działo w przeszłości.Charles Tripp jest profesorem bliskowschodnich studiów politycznych w Wyższej Szkole Studiów Orientalnych i Afrykańskich Uniwersytetu Londyńskiego. Opublikował między innymi: Islam and the Moral Economy: The Challenge of Capitalism (2006), Iran-Saudi Arabia Relations and Regional Order (z S. Chubinem, 1996), a także Iran and Iraq at War (1988).
