De Bin Ladens by Steve Coll
An Arabian Family in the American Century
A multigenerational narrative that traces a Saudi family's rise from immigrant construction entrepreneurs into a powerful, state-connected dynasty, showing how wealth, politics, religion, and ties to American interests shaped their fortunes; through deep reporting it follows how the family's business and establishment role contrasted with one scion's turn to militant Islam and global terrorism, and uses their story to illuminate broader themes of modernization, patronage, oil-era politics, and the complex roots of extremism within the Arab world and U.S.–Saudi relations.
