Bright, untorn dust jacket. -- This book presents a detailed political history of Abu Dhabi covering the period from 1793 to 1966, centered on Qasr Al Hosn, the historic fortress and palace that served for nearly two centuries as the official seat of government and residence of the Al Nahyan ruling family. The authors trace the development of Abu Dhabi from a small pearling and fishing community into a major tribal power along the Trucial Coast, examining the successive rulers of the Al Nahyan dynasty and their efforts to maintain authority amid shifting regional alliances, British influence, and internal tribal politics. The narrative explores the economic importance of the pearling industry, the impact of the decline of that trade, the discovery of oil, and the profound social and political changes that accompanied the transition from a traditional tribal society toward a modern state. Significant attention is given to the personalities, policies, and diplomatic strategies of individual rulers as they navigated complex relationships with neighbouring sheikhdoms, the British authorities, and later international oil companies. The book draws on archival documents, official records, and oral histories preserved by the Centre for Documentation and Research, offering one of the most comprehensive accounts of Abu Dhabi's pre-oil and early oil eras. It serves as a major reference work on the political foundations of what would become the United Arab Emirates, providing valuable insight into the historical roots of the Al Nahyan dynasty's legitimacy and governance.
