The History of Kuwait Hardback
by Michael S. Casey
Part of the The Greenwood Histories of the Modern Nations series
Hardback
Description
The tiny country of Kuwait grabbed the world's attention during the Gulf War, during which its natural petroleum resource became the envy of its neighboring country of Iraq.
But Kuwait's history goes back long before any oil was discovered, back to Mesopotamian settlements as early as 3000 BCE.
Ideal for high school students as well as general readers, History of Kuwait offers a comprehensive look at how such a small country could, essentially, rule the world with just one natural resource.
From sheikhdom to British protectorate to independence to invasion, Kuwait's history is long and rich with culture.
Michael S. Casey demonstrates how this Middle Eastern gem has grown throughout the centuries.
