| Summary: | Even whether to call the Gulf "Arabian" or "Persian" is an unending argument. Regardless of its name, the Gulf is one of the most politically important regions of the world. Rich shows that the influences of Britain and India are far deeper than commonly acknowledged, and that the sheikhs are actually the creation of the British Raj.
