The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia now has been under the spotlight of Western curiosity
for more than 80 years. More than 15% of the world's total oil reserves lie underneath
Saudi Arabia and, in the early 1990s, the kingdom became the world's largest crude
oil producer. Not surprisingly, a world highly dependent on oil regards the desert
kingdom as an area of intense strategic concern, as reflected in the coalition of
forces assembled on Saudi soil to oust Iraq from Kuwait in 1991. Also, it played a
major role in the invasion of Saddam Husayn's Iraq in 2003 and shares concern with
the West over Iran's nuclear intentions throughout the 21st century. This third edition
of Historical Dictionary of Saudi Arabia contains a chronology, an introduction, and
an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,000 cross-referenced
entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion,
and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone
wanting to know more about Saudi Arabia
