letitiaharmon's review against another edition
3.0
This book had the disadvantage of coming right after I read Sonnenborn's book by the same title, over the same topic, with about the same format. I much preferred Sonnenborn's "Kuwait" book. The strength in this one is actually the section on economy. I wondered, while reading, if the author were primarily an economist, because this section in particular showed understanding and depth. The other sections were simply not as insightful as Sonnenborn's writing, and I think this one is now a bit dated.
