The Gulf States are the focus of great international interest - yet
their fabulous evolution from pearl-fishing to oil-drilling, their
individuality and variety, are screened by a thick cloud of
petro-dollars. This book, first published in 1989, tells the story
of their formation, their evolution from colonial dependency to
statehood, and their transformation by oil. The result is an
informed and balanced picture of the political, economic, religious
and cultural character of the area. It is also a story of the
powerful families and their sheikhs that have had to hurry these
states into the modern world; of the interchanging role of
political and economic dependence, the influence of the oil
industry, the influx of workers from abroad, and the varying forces
acting on the Gulf States.
