TWEEDY (Maureen).
Bahrain and the Persian Gulf.

An uncommon short guide to the Gulf, with chapters on Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Muscat and the Trucial Coast (now the United Arab Emirates).

While travelling through coastal Eastern Arabia, Tweedy noticed the demand for “some kind of handbook” on the Arab States of the Gulf and the lack of such publications on offer. Bahrain and the Persian Gulf was written in response to that need and gives short descriptions of each State and brief accounts of their histories. Each chapter is illustrated with her own photographs, many of which are dignified and sensitive images of the local people.
