Is this the fulcrum we want the global economy to balance on?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his explosive New York Times bestseller, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eSee No Evil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, former CIA operative Robert Baer exposed how Washington politics drastically compromised the CIA’s efforts to fight global terrorism. Now in his powerful new book, Sleeping with the Devil, Baer turns his attention to Saudi Arabia, revealing how our government’s cynical relationship with our Middle Eastern ally and America’ s dependence on Saudi oil make us increasingly vulnerable to economic disaster and put us at risk for further acts of terrorism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor decades, the United States and Saudi Arabia have been locked in a “harmony of interests.” America counted on the Saudis for cheap oil, political stability in the Middle East, and lucrative business relationships for the United States, while providing a voracious market for the kingdom’ s vast oil reserves.
