Description
Muna M. Alhammadi delves into a critical period of British involvement in the Trucial States, a group of sheikhdoms on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, from 1947 to 1965. Through meticulous research, the narrative illuminates the complexities of British imperial policy and its ramifications on the local governance and socio-political landscape of the region. This account not only captures the interactions between British administrators and local leaders but also provides insight into the broader geopolitical shifts occurring during the mid-20th century.
The work tackles the intricate balance of power, illustrating how the dynamics between colonial authority and emerging local nationalism shaped governance. Alhammadi’s examination highlights the struggles and adaptations of both British officials and local populations, presenting a nuanced portrayal of an often-overlooked chapter in the history of the Gulf states. This book serves as a vital resource for anyone interested in the intersection of colonial history, Middle Eastern studies, and international relations.
