"The Islands of Bahrein have been a subject of controversy between Persia and Britain for over a century. The issues at stake are of vast significance, both in historical retrospect and in a contemporary survey of the Persian Gulf. This area, rich in oil resources and of great strategic importance, has witnessed many dramatic events and clashing interests in the course of history. This authoritative work is a valuable treatise on diplomatic history and on the application of the principles of International Law. Based on original material drawn from British, Persian and American archives, the study represents a lasting contribution to the diplomatic history of the Middle East." -  Frederick A. Praeger, Inc.
