MBS

Manages to provide detailed recreations of the timelines of Mohammed bin Salman's most dramatic and psychopathic moments, culminating in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi but including his consolidation of power in pursuit of the Crown Princedom, the warnings to the country's clerics, the crackdown on corruption (executed by jailing power-brokers at the Ritz Carlton), his bizarre kidnapping of the Lebanese Prime Minister, and others. Hubbard also does well to paint a portrait of life on the ground for ‘normal' people in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the changing sociopolitical climate there. Unfortunately MBS is so shrouded in mystery that the psychology behind his actions is often unclear, but this seems to be a result of the Crown Prince's proclivity to move in the shadows as well as his initial lack of proficiency in English.
