Based on comprehensive research in the British National Archives,
this book offers an in-depth and critical analysis of Great
Britain's policy in the oil-rich Persian Gulf region during the
last years of British imperialism in the area, covering the period
from the independence of Kuwait in 1961 to the decision of the
Wilson Government in January 1968 to withdraw from the Gulf by
1971. Helene von Bismarck explains the motivation and methods of
British imperialism in an area which was of great strategic and
economic value to Great Britain. The book demonstrates that the
British decision-makers in authority regarded Great Britain's role
in the Persian Gulf as an interdependent system of military power,
formal treaty rights and political influence that included the
treaty-bound states Bahrain, Qatar and the seven Trucial States
(today's United Arab Emirates), as well as the officially
independent states Kuwait and Oman.
