With Inside the Kingdom, British journalist and bestselling author Robert Lacey has given us one of the most penetrating and insightful looks at Saudi Arabia ever produced. In a world where events in the Middle East continue to have geopolitical consequences far beyond the region's boundaries, an understanding of this complex nation is essential.©2009 Robert Lacey (P)2010 W F Howes Ltd Monde Politique et gouvernement Sciences politiques

Robert Lacey writes with an easy style that lends itself well to an audiobook. I had trouble remembering and distinguishing the characters with their Arabian names, but that is my ignorance and not a fault of the book. However I really did have a problem with the narration.
Andrew Wincott has a fine, professional voice but he makes the error of doing accents - mostly Arab and American - whenever the character is of that nationality. It’s like those old war movies where the bad guys all spoke with vaudeville German accents. But as adults we know that Germans actually speak unaccented German. And some Arabian princes, educated in top Western boarding schools, probably don’t talk like that guys we negotiate with in Middle Eastern bazaars on holiday. Henry Kissinger is American but his accent is very particular. Accents are fine for fiction where the character is an invention, but not in serious, modern non-fiction.
