Arabian Gulf Intelligence is an essential compendium of information concerning the eastern regions of the Arabian Peninsula and islands in the Gulf in the middle of the ninetenth century. If a copy of this rare book ever emerges on the market it commands many hundreds of pounds, so this new edition fills an urgent need in Arabian scholarship.

The British Government of India maintained close surveillance over Eastern Arabia before the Arab states gained independence, and their most important reports by civilian and military personnel are reprinted for the first time in this volume of Selections from the Records of the Bombay Government, with a new frontispiece, new introduction and six maps.

Extensive information is provided on the history, topography, campaigns, and tribal relationships in Muscat and Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the Emirates, with especially detailed studies of the qawasim, Utuba and Wahhabi. Treaties between Great Britain and Oman, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain appear verbatim. Navigation between islands and both shores of the Gulf is fully eluidated. There are notes on Hufhuf, al-Qatif and Buraimi.

Dr Robin Bidwell, who provided the introduction, was Secretary of the Middle East Centre at Cambridge University. He also wrote the introduction for Vincenzo Maurizi's History of Seyd Said, Sultan of Muscat.

Part of the Oleander Classics series, this 1985 title has been reproduced using the highest-quality modern scanning technology. This is in order to keep important works from the Press’s 50-year history from going out of print. In this way, the invaluable resources provided by this and other books in the series remain available for general readers, academics and other interested parties.

    Persian Gulf is the name of the area, name of the body of water south of Iran. I am not sure what exactly the author is trying to sell with this false title. Would not buy it, would not read it.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading and False
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019
    Format: Paperback
    Misleading book with a misleading and false name. There isn’t such thing as “arabian gulf”, it’s either Arabian Sea or Persian Gulf and these are two different bodies of water. Distorting names, history and culture is nothing to easily pass-by.
