Overview

A detailed portrait of relations between two major Gulf states over a crucial half-century. Drawing on sources in both Arabic and English, the author examines the ups and downs in the two countries' relations in the political, religious, foreign policy, economic and military spheres. The book opens with a background analysis of the situation in the mid-1920s, when both Riza Shah of Iran and King Abd al-Aziz of what was to become Saudi Arabia were in the final stages of consolidating power and turning to the job of nation-building. The author then examines the two countries' political systems, analyzing the role of the monarch, tribal and family ties, Sunni versus Shia Islam, the Wahhabi movement, regional government and political parties.
