The Middle East has never had such volatile geopolitical fault lines. The core of this unrest is a growing conflict between Israel and Iran - but that is not all. The Arabian Gulf countries are the most successful and fast-modernising countries, which are directly in the centre of this intense competition.
Caught In The Crossfire: Six Gulf States And The Israel-Iran Conflict is a revelation of how the six Gulf states of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman are scrambling to evade a catastrophic regional war.
This is a broad book that gives one a panoramic perspective of contemporary Middle Eastern history and diplomacy, but in a way that can be understood by the rest of the world. With Western influence passing and the Eastern giants such as China entering the vacuum, the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have to find their own ways. You will find out how these countries are swerving, insuring, and updating on the risk of being drone-striked or cyber-attacked in the Dubai glittering skylines to the historical diplomatic corridors of Kuwait.
The book is authoritative and yet most interesting as it follows the religious rifts in the past, the struggle of regional hegemony and the economic need of the day in the Gulf that are driving the leadership in the Gulf. You will also learn how different states deal with the Israel-Iran rift in their own unique way: some by controversial treaties, others by strict neutrality, and others by financing opposing groups.
The dilemma of the Gulf is important in understanding the future of world politics and international trade as well as the religious tolerance in the Arab world. Caught In The Crossfire is a key unlocker to the international reader who would like to peep beyond the breaking news alerts and understand the long-term strategies behind the richest and most strategically important region on the planet.
