- Summary
- Although the strategic and economic importance of the Persian Gulf in the world today is undisputed, its recent history, and that of British policy in the region, has been curiously neglected as a subject for serious study. The purpose of this book is to describe the foundation and growth of British political influence in the Gulf in the nineteenth century. -- from Preface.
