Britain's Revival and Fall in the Gulf

<p>Britain's relationship with the Gulf region remains one of the few unexplored episodes in the study of British decolonization. The decision announced in 1968 to leave the Gulf within three years represented an explicit recognition by Britain that its 'East of Suez' role was at an end. This book examines the decision-making process which underpinned this reversal and considers the interaction between British decision-making and local responses and initiatives in shaping the modern Gulf. Using sources previously unavailable to scholars <em>Britain's Revival and Fall in the Gulf </em>is a valuable addition to the studies on the modern Gulf.</p>
