Medea Benjamin, co-founder of women’s peace organization CODEPINK, has become famous for fearlessly tackling head-on subjects most of us studiously avoid. In Kingdom of the Unjust, she researches the sinister nature of the relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. In seven succinct chapters followed by a meditation on prospects for change, Benjamin—cited by the L.A. Times as “one of the high-profile members of the peace movement”—shines a light on one of the most perplexing elements of American foreign policy. What is the origin of this strange alliance between two countries that seemingly have very little in common? Why does it persist, and what are its consequences?
