With chapters written by long-time experts in the fields of national security, foreign policy, education, and law, this book uses first-hand accounts to explore the Saudis' vast grip. It addresses how Saudi influence has eased the rise of domestic terrorism as well as a promulgation of pernicious ideas regarding American foreign policy. All this has produced a philosophy of moral equivalency, mitigating against a sense of American exceptionalism or a moral clarity of America's unique mission in the world Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Terrorism -- Government policy -- Saudi Arabia Islam and state -- Saudi Arabia Islam and politics -- Saudi Arabia Muslims -- Western countries -- Politics and government POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Political Freedom & Security -- Terrorism.
