Critics Review

“Schwartz provides much valuable information and insight. [His] case against Saudi Arabia and its foreign policy is irrefutable.” -The Wall Street Journal “A major and welcome contribution on a topic that will only become more relevant. It is must reading for anybody who wants to know what exactly we are facing in the war on terror.” –National Review

“A powerful indictment of Saudi-Wahhabi duplicity… . A valuable study of a religious culture that could well end up in open conflict with the West (if it’s not already).” –The Washington Post

“The urgency for Americans is to place the news in context, and toward that end there is no better guide than Stephen Schwartz… . No writer has done more to expose Wahhabism than Mr. Schwartz has.” –Dallas Morning News
