SHORTLISTED FOR THE SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2026
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025
'Bravura on the ground reporting' - David Goldblatt, award-winning author of The Ball is Round
'This is an important book' - Simon Kuper, bestselling author of Soccernomics, Chums and Barça
'Compelling' - The Times
'A subtle examination of the complex interplay between global ambition, economic power, and ethical considerations' - MoneyWeek
'A comprehensive and shocking account' - When Saturday Comes
_________
In 2034, Saudi Arabia will host the men's FIFA World Cup and mark the culmination of Mohammed bin Salman's ambitious plan to modernise Saudi Arabia, a kingdom of unfathomable wealth at the heart of the Islamic world, which is only now emerging from nearly a century of self-isolation. How did we get here? Why would a country spend tens of billions of dollars, perhaps even hundreds of billions in the long run, to buy and control sport?
Engulfed is a story about ambition, family rivalries, extreme wealth, power, murder and disinformation. It is also the story of dictatorship, political corruption and, at its root, how sport - football, yes, but also golf, boxing and even e-sports - became a vital geopolitical tool for Saudi Arabia.
Drawing on Montague's exclusive first-hand interviews from his extensive travels across Saudi Arabia, the US, the north-east of England, Spain, Turkey and beyond, Engulfed uncovers how the House of Saud zeroed in on the political power of sport, using it both as a powerful political tool of influence and as a way to rectify the PR damage caused by one of the most infamous assassinations in history: the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
