- catalog abstract ""Britain's relationship with Gulf region remains one of the few unexplored episodes in the study of British decolonization. The decision, announced in 1968, to leave the Gulf within three years represented an explicit recognition by Britain that its 'East of Suez' role was at an end. In this book, Simon Smith analyzes the decision-making process which underpinned this reversal and which are clearly central to achieving an understanding of Britain's repositioning in the post-war world. Additionally, this book presents an examination of the interaction between British decision-making on the one hand, and local responses and initiatives on the other, in shaping the modern Gulf. Using sources previously unavailable to scholars, Britain's Revival and the Fall of the Gulf is a valuable addition to the studies on the modern Gulf and will be of interest to both academic and general readers."--Jacket.".
