Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Extremely rare publicity brochure describing the Bahrain Defence Force's origins, philosophy, and progress. Original spiral-bound green card wraps 25x25cm, white titled with gilt BDF emblem to the front. (29)pp Arabic text, illustrated primarily in colour throughout. Wraps good with pale vertical streaks where the green ink has rubbed off, interiors very good. This appears to be extremely rare. Undated but 1977-8, 9 years on from its establishment (p28). Crown Prince Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa formed the Bahrain Defence Force during 1968 to Feb 1969, and was its first Commander-in-Chief (1969-99). He had just graduated from the Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot (1968), and returned to serve as Commander of the Bahrain National Guard (1968-9). In 1970, he became Head of Bahrain's Department of Defence, and from 1971-88 was Minister of Defence. During 1972-3 he obtained a degree in Leadership from the US Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. With Iran making claims on Bahrain, and with British withdrawal imminent, he was inspired to form the BDF in a spirit of Pan-Arabism. He ordered new barracks to be built at personal expense, and restoration of the old for use as a training camp. The BDF sourced local people with scientific knowledge to deal with modern military equipment. Hamad ruled out conscription in favour of voluntary recruitment, and took measures to foster leadership. He regarded the BDF as a family, integral to Bahraini society, participating in national days and other celebrations, reaching out through lectures and seminars. He promoted it as a force for the wider Arab Homeland, cooperating with other Gulf Arab states. Prizes were awarded to motivate achievement. In between training, soldiers were encouraged to use libraries, engage in reading, writing and conversations to learn about their culture, religion, general education and military science. The text also reproduces the military oaths of allegiance. The photos include portraits of the Emir, Crown Prince Hamad, and Prime Minister, show soldiers taking their oaths, training, on manoeuvres, on parade, playing sport, and at prayer. Twelve insignia representing different parts of the BDF are reproduced.…
