Comprehensive survey of the history and current political and legal positions on three small islands in the southern end of the Persian Gulf. Strategically located close to the Strait of Hormuz the islands have long been the subject of sovereignty disputes. Claimed by the UAE as successor to the Trucial States the islands were forcibly occupied by Iran after British forces withdrew from the Gulf at the end of the 1960s. This book provides a thorough analysis of the competing claims.
