Thicker
Than Oil
Rachel Bronson, Director of Middle East Studies at the Council on
Foreign Relations, traces the history of America's close and
controversial alliance with Saudi Arabia, a partnership that began 55
years ago. Although often characterized as a simple bargain of
"oil for security," Bronson argues this shorthanded view
ignores the historical overlapping strategic interests shared by the
two countries, including halting the threat of communism. She also
examines the challenges confronting the alliance today, from the
perspective of both sides, and argues that while the status quo is
unsustainable, a reconfigured relationship is necessary from a
pragmatic point of view.
