Description
The Military and Police Forces of the Gulf States: The Aden Protectorate 1839-1967 by Athol Yates, Cliff Lord, and David Birtles is a detailed examination of the military, police, and para-military services of Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar from the early 20th century until 2010. This book builds on the established relationships between Great Britain and these Gulf states, which have been marked by mutual defence treaties since centuries. The British have played a significant role in advising, training, and leading the armed forces of Oman's Sultanate since the 1920s, with personnel serving in various capacities through secondment and contract arrangements. With its focus on the Aden Protectorate period, this volume provides valuable insights into the complex history of the region.
