## Resource

Yanni dives into the decades-long oil-for-protection pact between the United States and Saudi Arabia. He explores the history of the royal family, their new mission to diversify the economy, and their push to attract foreign investment. But as the kingdom westernizes, plenty of ghosts and skeletons still rattle in the closet.
