The Mystery Prince of Arabia
Mohammed bin Salman, a.k.a. MBS, is the crown prince of Saudi Arabia-the first grand-son of Ibn al-Saoud, the founder of the kingdom which bears his name, to ascend to power. He wants to profoundly transform his country. Or does he? At just 32 years old, MBS leads one of the richest and at the same time most oppressive societies in the world. Do the young people of Saudi Arabia or the world see him as a visionary, a reformer or an opportunist? Where will he lead his country of unlimited petroleum reserves, immense military and economic power and a growing political role in a chaotic Middle East?
