A history of disputed borders in the Arabian Peninsula and along the coast of the Arabian Gulf, by John Barrett Kelly (1925-2009), a new Zealander who specialized in publications on the political geography of the Arabian Peninsula. Kelly describes for a contemporary 1960s audience the then-current border disputes, and a brief history of territorial disputes between British colonial interests and Gulf emirates, as well as between the growing states of the Peninsula, with special focus on the Wahhabi Period, Saudi expansion, and the reign of Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan (1835-1909). His appendices include the Arbitration Agreement of 30 July 1954.
