What is the author's style in Sleeping with the Devil: How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude by Robert Baer?

Sleeping With the Devil is written in the first person point of view from the perspective of the author, Edward Baer. Baer functions as the narrator of the book. Much of the information in the book stems from Baer's years as a case officer for the CIA. He is widely traveled and has served in various places in the Islamic world and became interested in the problems in the Middle East and curious about the organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood. Baer spends years trying to find out about them and their links to the House of Sa'ud and presents this information in the book. Writing in the first person is appropriate for this kind of book because Baer is presenting his experiences. The use of the first person is not a limiting factor in this kind of book because Baer can supply all of the background and detail information that is required for the reader to understand the topic. The use of the first person also adds to the realism of the different situations when Baer is talking about his own experiences. He wrote the book because he wants the reader to know about the relationship between the United States, Saudi Arabia and the Wahhabis, or Muslim Brotherhood. This relationship is the cause of problems in the Middle East and is one that the United States allowed to develop because of its dependence on Saudi oil. Baer is more than qualified to write a book of this nature since he spent more than twenty years as a CIA case officer.
