This bibliography, first published in 1990, is a result of a quarter-century professional and personal relationship between two academics interested in Middle East studies. The comprehensive bibliography consists of western, primarily English, language sources published through 1988 and early 1989 concerning foreign policy toward the Middle East and North Africa during the twentieth century. Included are materials that deal directly with the topic, material that has appeared in published form, ie books, monographs, essays and articles. Also included are some non-published items, most importantly American and British doctoral dissertations and master’s theses.

Another colossal wave made the section heel over nearly forty-five degrees. As the bottom part moved accordingly, the pull led the limp torpedo with it and, it crashed against the metal. That made it come to life. It sped up, made a full turn and rammed the flotsam, demolishing its deepest point. The hut came loose and fell straight into the water then continued--and hit a steel beam in the subs' harness, cutting it and making the Ayr slip downward, nose first. That spelled the end for the rest of the construction, and the sub, free, began an uncontrolled dive toward the massive, barren plain of the seamount.
In the depths of the Cold War and in the wake of Britain's announcement of its intention to withdraw 'East of Suez' by the end of 1971, Britain was faced with the stark reality of a Marxist rebellion in the Dhofar province of Oman. 'State Building and Counter Insurgency in Oman' offers an exploration of the attempts by officials and politicians in Whitehall and the Gulf to reconcile attempts to protect national interests and create an effective, centralised Omani administration and security bodies, whilst maintaining the image of strategic withdrawal and the sovereign independence of Oman. This book thus provides vital information and analysis for students and researchers of Middle East History and Politics, the decline and end of empire and the policymaking processes at the heart of an imperial and military withdrawal.
