This wonderful little book is part of the Historical Atlases of South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East series (that's a mouthful!), which gives the reader excellent introductions to a number of countries. This book traces the history of the United Arab Emirates from antiquity, through to the Persian Gulf War and the 1991 Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) scandal. Along the way, the reader is treated to many colorful pictures and highly informative sidebars. Overall, I found this to be an excellent introduction to the UAE. Indeed, though the book is aimed at the younger reader, it is so concise and informative that any reader will get a good idea of where the UAE came from and what kind of a country it is today. This is an excellent book that I highly recommend.
