With the end of the British Raj in 1947, the Foreign Office
replaced the Government of India as the department responsible for
the Persian Gulf, and would proceed to manage relations with the
Trucial States (now the United Arab Emirates, UAE) until British
withdrawal in 1971. This work is a comprehensive history of British
policy in the region during that period, situated for the first
time in its broad historical and political context. Tancred
Bradshaw - an academic historian with extensive experience in the
region - sheds light onto the discovery of oil in Abu Dhabi in the
1950s, Foreign Office attempts to instigate a long-term development
policy in the region, the slow end of the British Empire, the
origins of the UAE and - most importantly - the British legacy in
this geopolitically crucial region today. The book relies on 40,000
pages of archival material, much of it previously unused, and will
be of interest to Imperial historians, as well as anyone working on
the history and politics of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf.
