圖書描述

At the close of World War I, the great oil reserves of the Arabian Peninsula lay hidden beneath the desert sands, and Westerners dismissed today's opulent Gulf States as uninteresting back lots among the vast real estate holdings of the British Empire. Although the British eventually discovered the petroleum lakes in Iran and then in Iraq, across the water on the Arab side of the Persian Gulf the entire peninsula was deemed worthless by world experts who insisted, "There is no oil in Arabia."

In this fascinating history of the discovery, development, and exploitation of Middle East oil, international journalist Aileen Keating tells a largely unknown story rich in drama, conflict, and comic interludes, revealing how the experts could be so wrong and why the fabulously rich oilfields of Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia remained untapped for years after they were discovered by a New Zealander named Frank Holmes.

Frank Holmes is still little known in the West, but since the early 1920s the Arabs of the Persian Gulf have honored him as Abu al-Naft—"the Father of Oil." The reasons for the official downplaying of Holmes's crucial role among British and American oil executives and government officials reveal a great deal about the fiercely competitive power grabs and injustices that have characterized Western petroleum development in the Middle East.

Keating's authoritative narrative is based on years of research in original archives across the world. She explodes many myths, including the widely held notion that oil companies and geological experts of the time really did know that there was oil in Arabia but kept the knowledge under wraps to keep competitors away. Keating also underscores the fact that the Arab sheikdoms after World War I were under the political jurisdiction of the Indian Raj (British rule from India), which helps to explain much about the political maneuvering that kept the Arab kingdoms from gaining independence and profiting from their own oil reserves for many decades.

Complete with maps and photos, a "who's who" of key persons, and copious notes, The Mirage is both a work of in-depth scholarship and an engrossing story of power and politics with striking relevance for our time.
