| Publisher Description: Based on a variety of international sources, this book explores the modern history of Bahrain and its international relations. While focusing particularly on British and American relations with Bahrain, Joyce's history investigates also Bahrain's relations with Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the USSR. Finally, the book covers the history of tension between Sunni and Shia Bahrainis and concludes by placing the still-unfolding events of the 2011 Arab spring in context. |
