    £22.00

    In forensic detail, ‘Engulfed’ uncovers how the House of Saud zeroed in on the political power of sport to save itself from the PR damage caused by one of the most infamous assassinations in history. It examines how they have bet on sport’s, and especially football’s, extreme polarisation, using it to radicalise whole cities and fanbases, and subvert democratic institutions for faraway political ends. It’s the story of a plot to use sport to wash away the stains of a crime and how a compliant west was easily bought, and sold, in the process.
