Arab-Iranian Rivalry in the Persian Gulf
«Through this thoughtful and carefully researched account of Arab-Iranian rivalry, Farzad Cyrus Sharifi-Yazdi seeks to place Arab and Iranian claims and disputes over territory and waterway access in the Persian Gulf in context. He succeeds admirably. Arab-Iranian rivalry might seem at first glance about hegemonic rivalry alone, but Sharifi-Yazdi in his book suggests otherwise. In this respect, the book is something of a landmark, as it deals with and explores the nature of engagement between the Shah’s Iran (a major power in the Middle East) and the relatively weaker Arab entities in the region.»
