Across the spread of its deserts, mountains, islands and seas, the UAE has a rich and diverse history. From ancient people who emerged from the desert to settle there, through many invasions and wars,myths of piracy and the allure of pearls, to the arrival of oilmen drilling beneath the dunes in the stifling heat, Keepers of the Golden Shore tells the extraordinary story of how the Emirates evolved from an impoverished tribal society to become one of the richest countries on Earth today. A new history of the United Arab Emirates, which looks behind the region's glossy facade to cast a revealing light on a much-misunderstood land.
