From Kuwait, to which Kaiser Wilhelm II's ambitions extended and which now is the fourth oil-producing state of the world, down the Western Coast of the Gulf - through Bahrain, Qatar and the Trucial States to Muscat and Oman each of these small countries is treated geographically, politically and socially. Their special relations to Britain and the unusual institution of the "Residency" are set forth in detail from, naturally, the point of view of one who was himself the Resident. The oil industry of the Gulf is described in a separate chapter. These pages underline how oil has brought change to the financial position and the social structure of the States where it has been found. Sixteen photographs of persons and places little known to the Western world accompany the text" (dust-jacket). Includes chapters on Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the Trucial Shaikdoms, and Muscat.

Hay's article provides a geographical and historical account of the Persian Gulf States: Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the seven Trucial Sheikhdoms, which today form the United Arab Emirates, and their boundary issues in the early 1950s to mid 1950s. It was written by Sir Rupert Hay, who due to his position as British Political Resident in the Persian Gulf (UAE, Iran) from 1946 -1953, knew the area and its issues very well. Hay (1893-1962) was a British Indian Army officer and administrator in British India before becoming British Political Resident. He also authored two books on the Middle East including: "The Persian Gulf States" (1959) and "A Soldier in Kurdistan" an account of his service in Mesopotamia and Kurdistan during World War One.
