Introduction “Sleeping with the Devil” by Robert Baer is a very interesting book. This book is actually a criticism of Baer, ​​who was a Central Intelligence (CIA) officer. It describes the relationship the Americans had with Saudi Arabia. Baer was concerned that the relationship between the two was very hypocritical to American values ​​and that it endangered the American economy. When it comes to the main theme of the book and the points it includes; that American corruption over cheap oil and political stability in the Middle East has also been a profitable trade relationship, that America is vulnerable to economic disaster and the risks of terrorism, and that America is blinded by low prices and he doesn't see how culturally corrupt Saudi Arabia is with its Islamic beliefs. Corruption In the book it was shown that America had an agreement with the Saudis to obtain oil at the cheapest and most reasonable prices. America had depended on oil for years and had built a corrupt relationship that could explode at any moment. The Saudis are a very corrupt group of people and they have infected America. They live very extravagant lifestyles and spend more than the salary they receive from their families. They are also involved in crimes and illegal activities to help pay for some of their expenses. Unfortunately, America may have been involved in secret activities that Washington doesn't want the rest of the country to know about. America must also remain involved in Saudi political affairs. They need to make sure they agree on every decision that affects the United States and natural resources. The first oil mined there in Saudi Arabia was in 1938 by engineer Tom Barger. Saudi Arabia has become the great…paper center…committed to Islamic beliefs. At the moment money is the main attraction and concern for Saudis instead of religious beliefs. In conclusion, Baer included a lot of information in his book/criticism about the situation with the Americans and the Saudi family. The relationship between the two seems to show a bond of love and hate. The title reads "sleeping with the devil" and the reader can conclude that Baer probably intended for Americans to sleep with their enemies as befits someone who sleeps with the devil. There are many details in this book, but when looked at as a whole there is the theme of corruption. The helplessness of the Americans towards the Saudi family shows how blind they can be in a mixed situation. Works Cited Baer, ​​Robert. 2003.
