The Emergence Of Qatar

by Habibur U. Rahman

Rahman examines the wars, conflicts, intrigues, conspiracies, and strategic contests that were factors behind the comparatively late emergence of Qatar as an independent political entity. This is a significant contribution to the historical record and an important new resource for scholars and historians interested in the history of Qatar and the Gulf in general.

[Saad Kaleem · Rating 4 out of 5]

A must-read and an invaluable resource on the events leading up to the formation of the State of Qatar from the 17th century to early 20th century. The author has done a very comprehensive analysis by drawing on various primary sources (eg: Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf by Lorimer & Gifford Palgrave's Narrative)
