This collection chronicles the most critical decade witnessed to
date in the territorial evolution of the Arabian Peninsula and Gulf
region, a wholly unique area in geopolitical terms. Nowhere else is
there such a concentration of microstates and these overlie the
world's greatest concentration of hydrocarbon reserves, all within
a semi-enclosed sea. The illuminating Foreign and Commonwealth
Office documents included here comprehensively chart the huge
efforts made by Britain to get its territorial house in order by
the time it left the region as protecting power in December 1971
but also provides unique insights into the major settlements of the
era and their background. The records presented include treaties,
letters, telegrams, memoranda and notes, the latter often being
diplomatic summaries and assessments. The subject matter being
dealt with here includes negotiations, agreements, disputes,
incursions and claims. This 18-volume set includes 2 map boxes
containing 30 large folding maps showing boundary agreements.
