Surveys events in Kuwait from the beginning of the Twentieth century until the Second World War and explains Britain's initial interest in the ruling Al-Sabah family before focusing on the post-1945 period. After the Second World War Kuwait became an area of considerable interest to both Britain and the US. Analyses such post-war events as the 1956 Suez crisis; the independence of Kuwait; the attempted annexation of Kuwait by Iraq in 1961; and the events which led to the 1990 Iraqi invasion and the Anglo-American response.
