Davis' history of Anglo-American relations throughout the Second World War in the Persian Gulf marks an important contribution to ongoing and timely research into the emergent connection between British economic investments and post-war American forays and initiatives into the region from the turn of the century to the fracturing of the British empire by the early 1950's. The author deftly traces the faultlines and ever-swelling tensions between dominant British private and governmental interests and an American foreign flush with cash, materiel, enthusiasm, and a willingness to put forward cooperative economic agendas with local leaders.
