Description
These volumes are a testament to the challenges faced by the extraordinary men who initiated the search for oil in the United Arab Emirates in the years between the two World Wars. This set of a total of five books in six volumes features never-before-published copies of letters, notes and reports complementing the research, which stems from the archives of the Abu Dhabi Petroleum Company (ADPC) and other literature recorded by British Government officials.

The set consists of five books (in 6 volumes): 1. From Pearls to Oil: How the Oil Industry Came to the United Arab Emirates 2.
