Description

Explore the origins of a nation with The United Arab Emirates: A Modern History. Part of the Routledge Library Editions: The Gulf, this work provides a detailed look at the transition from the Trucial States to the birth of the UAE following the British withdrawal in 1971. Originally published in 1978, this text examines the political, social, economic, and cultural heritage that shaped the region. It tracks the history of the Gulf from 1892 to 1971, a period defined by the British presence. Readers will learn how the region evolved from a strategic defense point for India into a significant area influenced by oil and international air communication by 1945. This book is an essential resource for anyone studying the formative issues and development of the new state. It offers a clear historical perspective on the shifts in power and the social changes that occurred during this era of transition.
