Produktbeschreibung
This book examines Iran's policy in the Persian Gulf from 1968 to 1975 after the British military withdrawal from the region in 1971. It deals in detail with the questions of Bahrain and the Shatt-al Arab and examines the relationship of Britain's 'East of Suez Policy' (1968-1971) to the politics of the region, and, especially, the role of Iran. Britain's military pullout from the Persian Gulf influenced Iran's determination to build a credible deterrent to replace the "power vacuum" without the intervention of foreign powers. The main factors which influenced Iran's policy in the region were the Iranian oil industry, Persian Gulf security, Iran's military preparedness and arms build-up.
Autorenporträt
In a world where much of publishing now belongs to the machinery of multinational corporations, Majid Roshangar's accomplishments recall a lost era that brought integrity and artistry to the business of literature. As the manager of Persian Pocket Books Publishing House in Iran before the revolution, he discovered and fostered the work of so many great writers who have become household names. As the single-handed force behind Barrasi-ye Ketab (The Persian Book Review), based in Los Angeles since 1990, he continues to shine a beacon of light on Iranian literature and its world context for the benefit of the diaspora community and scholars everywhere. We look forward to his new venture into analyzing Iran's role in the Persian Gulf during a critical period that shaped today's political landscape. - Zara Houshmand, author of: Moon and Sun: A Selection of Rumi's Rubaiyat, Running Toward Mystery (with Ven. Tenzin Priyadarshi), A Mirror Garden (with Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian)
