The Call
Inside the Global Saudi Religious Project
The Call lays out what we really talk about when we talk about Saudi money, and illuminates the global sweep of its ambitions over the last century.
“Varagur wisely allows many voices to be heard—and shows how Saudi influence is now more transparent but still insidious.” —Kirkus ★ starred review
