Bahrain from the Twentieth Century to the Arab Spring

Based on a variety of international sources, this book explores the modern history of Bahrain and its international relations. Focusing particularly on the country's relations with Great Britain and the United States, Joyce's history investigates also Bahrain's relations with Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the USSR.
