Zahlan, Rosemarie Said.

8vo. xi, 180 pp., 2 maps, 9 photographs, publisher’s original wrappers, lightly rubbed round edges, otherwise copy inside in mint condition, appendix, index, Unwin Hyman, London, first edition, 1989.

The author 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.
