Reviews
'A must-read for all who are interested in the British period in the Gulf. It gives all the vital details as to how the British maintained internal security in the Gulf Arab shaikhdoms, amirates and sultanates in the mid-twentieth century. This is of vital significance to understanding the foundation and nature of the current security regimes in the Gulf Arab states.' Saul Kelly 'Security in the Gulf fills an important lacuna in the scholarly literature about the last period of the Arabian states under British protection. Rossiter's book is engagingly written, deeply thoughtful, and extensively researched - it is a major contribution to the historical scholarship on the Gulf and the British Empire.' Zoltan Barany, University of Texas
