This book surveys the history of the Persian Gulf from ancient times until the present day. Broad overview chapters by leading authorities treat the internal history of the region and describe the role outsiders - including the Portuguese, Dutch, Ottomans, British, and Americans - have played there. The book's theme is the unity and distinct identity of Gulf society and how the Gulf historically has been part of a cosmopolitan Indian Ocean world. Item Details
