Bog beskrivelse
A fascinating exploration through the renowned Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf, a cornerstone source that remains unrivalled nearly a century after its creation by John Gordon Lorimer in 1908. Officially published in 1915, this Gazetteer remained classified until 1953, shared among a select few—political agents, military planners, and diplomats—serving in the British and Indian Governments. It allowed the British to assert control over the region’s historical narrative for over 35 years and even then, remained under tight control until 1970.John Gordon Lorimer steps into the light in this groundbreaking historical triumph—a rare figure from the early 20th century whose life remained untouched by biographical dispute, despite his pivotal role in documenting the Gulf''s history.In this unprecedented study, Dillon unveils previously unseen political, societal, and economic landscapes and sheds light on a valuable artefact that moulded history despite its biases and subjectivity. Lorimer unfolds as a compelling investigation of historical impact, enriched by an indispensable Gazetteer index—never before published. This book is an undeniable revelation that should not be overlooked.
