Description
Weaving two recurring themes in Kuwaiti history - the preservation of a sense of community in the face of economic, social and political transformations, and internal rivalry over forms of governance - into a broad profile of Kuwait, this book analyzes the country's transformation to an oil economy, its social structure and composition, political tensions, and its relations with other countries in the Gulf and Middle East. It also places Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in the context of Kuwait's historical foreign policy and examines the invasion's legacy.
