This is not only a travel book but a thought-provoking documentary on inter-cultural relationships between the different races and nationalities comprising the huge expatriate population and native Arab residents of the oil-rich peninsula.
The prolific travel writer, Peter Biddlecombe, writes:- "Brilliant! Read 'Death in Riyadh' and you'll never want to buy another gallon of Saudi oil again. Anyone with any sense of decency, let alone half-a-litre of justice, should buy two copies: one to read and the other to throw at Robin Cook's ehtical foreign policy! A book of adventure and true compassion, and an un-put-downable read."
