New York Times Beirut bureau chief, Ben Hubbard, has written a gripping portrait of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and his mythic rise to power. Also known as MBS, the prince has been linked to the grisly killing of journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, and using big tech to spy on dissidents. Ben Hubbard has been reporting out of the Middle East for 15 years and is fluent in Arabic. His book is called 'MBS: The rise to power of Mohammed bin Salman'.
