Behind the Kingdom's Veil: Inside the New Saudi Arabia Under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman - Thryft

Unveiling Saudi Arabia's elusive inner workings.

If you're curious about the notoriously private Saudi Arabia, Koelbl's "Behind the Kingdom's Veil" offers a rare glimpse inside. Drawing from her bold journalistic ventures, Koelbl provides personal narratives that bring the kingdom's complex social and political landscape to life. Her ability to connect with a range of voices, from conservative preachers to outspoken women, makes this book a compelling read for anyone interested in the Middle East's pulse.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
