This book charts the changing security and political priorities of these two powers and how they have shaped the region. Adopting a narrative approach the author provides background history on British involvement from the 19th century and a detailed analysis of the years after the Second World War when oil supply became more critical. He covers the growth of US influence and the British withdrawal and follows more recent changes as the US built up its military presence following Desert Storm and the invasion of Iraq.
