The defence of the Gulf has been a vital strategic concern for
close on 100 years. The British first became involved in the Gulf
to protect the sea routes to India and with the development of
international air routes the Gulf became a crucial staging post.
This book, first published in 1986, surveys the strategic issues in
the defence of the Gulf from the earliest British involvement up to
the Iraq-Iran war. It examines the British retreat from the Gulf
and the imperial vestiges that were left behind. It considers the
way in which American interests in the Gulf came to replace British
interests and it analyses how American foreign policy has responded
to this additional responsibility. The book also investigates the
regional concerns of Gulf security and the intra-regional conflicts
that have erupted in the Iraq-Iran war.
