Main content

The story of how the crown prince of Saudi Arabia combined vision and ruthlessness to transform his country - and how he became one of the most powerful leaders in the world.

The second episode explores what MBS did once he had effectively seized power by becoming crown prince, hearing from friends, advisers, western spies, diplomats and from those who had been in the inner circles of the Saudi court. It is a tale of determination and dynamism but also impatience and recklessness.
