About this book

An exploration of the modern history of Bahrain and its international relations, Joyce investigates the country's relations with the US, the UK, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the USSR. Placing today's events in context, she covers the history of tension between Sunni and Shia Bahrainis and concludes with the still-unfolding events of the Arab spring.

For those wishing to understand the evolution of the Persian Gulf region and the legacy of the superpowers in it, this volume is essential reading."
