Reviews
Gr. 5-8. Divided into chapters on the land, people, and history, this entry in the Modern Middle East Nations series gives readers a broad introduction to Kuwait, a tiny but strategically important emirate. Kuwait comes off as a nation at once blessed and cursed by its tremendous wealth. Citizens are guaranteed a comfortable life (the government buys each couple a large house when they get married), but there's little motivation to work or seek a more representative government. Marcovitz pays special attention to the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq in 1990 and the environmental and economic catastrophe that followed. Attractive full-page photographs introduce new chapters and smaller photographs of Kuwaitis at prayer, work, and play are scattered throughout the book, adding dimension to the text. Though occasionally repetitive, this is a readable introduction for kids intrigued by images of Kuwait City that have recently inundated TV. A glossary, further readings, and a good list of Web resources are appended. John Green
