xi, 180 pp., 2 maps, 9 photographs, publisher’s original wrappers, lightly rubbed round edges, otherwise copy inside in mint condition, appendix, index. The book is based on a wide range of primary materials, including recently declassified documents used here for the first time. It defines and describes the geopolitical framework of the region and the state system which emanated from it. It explains how the Gulf states owe their creation and survival, sometimes against many odds, to forces well beyond the waters of the Gulf. The author tells the story of the formation of the states, their evolution from colonial dependency to statehood, their socio-economic transformation by oil, and their stability in the midst of change. She illuminates their relationships with each other, with the wider world, and with the major world powers. #35142.
