What is the main conflict in Sleeping with the Devil: How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude by Robert Baer?

Sleeping With the Devil by Robert Baer is the story of the United States relationship with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is the world's largest oil producer and the site of the world's largest oil reserves. The United States is very dependent on Middle East oil and is the country that leased the land and developed the first Saudi oil field. Standard Oil of California is the first oil company in Saudi Arabia, and the United States has had a relationship with the kingdom ever since.
