In Episode 156 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Wall Street Journal reporters Bradley Hope and Justin Scheck about their new book, \\u201cBlood & Oil\\u201d that chronicles the rise to power of Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman, a story full of multi-billion dollar business deals, high-powered finance, and political intrigue.

The first 15 minutes or so of their conversation deal with Bradley and Justin\\u2019s process for writing the book, their cultivation of leads, and how they went about fact-checking stories. The rest of the episode and the overtime focuses on Salman\\u2019s approach to statesmanship, his role and that of his family as \\u201cswing investors\\u201d in silicon valley, and what it means for the politics of the greater Middle East should he assume the throne.
