In ten years, this deeply traditional, country has experienced more change than most nations have achieved in the past century: education for women, sophisticated weapons for its army, and new agriculture in a land where water is more expensive than oil. Faisal's dream was just beginning. Now he's dead. William Woollard and Ian Smart give an account of the achievement of the ultra-conservative who dragged his nation into the 20th century, yet feared the consequences of rapid change. Powerful as they are, Saudi Arabia's new rulers remain entirely dependent on the West for realising King Faisal's dreams.
