Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has emerged as a singular figure in the history of Saudi Arabia. In her new biography, journalist Karen House illustrates the crown prince’s rise to power and his influence on the politics of an ever-shifting Middle East. Through extensive direct interviews with MBS, House unpacks his vision for the future of Saudi Arabia, his work to modernize the Kingdom, and his sometimes-controversial ruling style.
In The Man Who Would Be King: Mohammed bin Salman and the Transformation of Saudi Arabia, Karen House, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and former publisher of The Wall Street Journal combines deep reporting with cutting analysis to tell one of the most important stories of the modern Middle East.
The Center for a New American Security held a live, virtual event on Wednesday, August 20, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. ET between author Karen House and Richard Fontaine, chief executive officer at the Center for a New American Security.
