In this exhaustively researched book, veteran oil industry analyst Matthew Simmons draws on his three-plus decades of insider experience and more than 200 independently produced reports about Saudi petroleum resources and production operations. He uncovers a story about Saudi Arabia&#8217;s troubled oil industry, not to mention its political and societal instability, which differs sharply from the globally accepted Saudi version. It&#8217;s a story that is provocative and disturbing, based on undeniable facts, but until now never told in its entirety. Twilight in the Desert answers all readers&#8217; questions about Saudi oil and production industries with keen examination instead of unsubstantiated posturing, and takes its place as one of the most important books of this still-young century. 854551 10 6 2005 Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy total:22|5:3|4:8|3:9|2:2| 22 78 34 6 3 0 false false Tue May 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 18:46:15 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 18:47:57 -0700 2009 1
