Notes
This book, written by Mustafa Aqil, examines the international competition in the Arabian Gulf from 1622 to 1763. It emphasizes the strategic significance of the region due to its geographical position and natural resources, which attracted various European powers, including the Portuguese, British, Dutch, and French. The narrative details the local resistance against these foreign powers, particularly focusing on alliances and conflicts involving local entities like the Kingdom of Hormuz, the Safavids, Ottomans, and Omanis. The book is structured into seven chapters, each addressing different aspects of the geopolitical and economic struggles in the Gulf. It relies heavily on primary sources, including British archives and Persian documents, to provide a comprehensive historical account. The intended audience includes historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history and geopolitics of the Arabian Gulf.
