PREFACE

This book attempts to review and analyze relations between the USSR and the countries of the Persian Gulf and Arabian peninsula.

Chapter 1 summarizes events from the beginning of the Soviet regime up to 1975. In Chapter 2, we review events of the years 1975-8. Chapter 3 is more detailed, and opens with a description of the impact on the Gulf region of events starting in January 1979 in Iran, with the Shahs downfall and the rise of Ayatollah Khomeyni. Chapter 4, also quite detailed, describes the situation in the region from the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war in September 1980 until early 1982.

We have based the book mainly on primary sources of Soviet, Arab, Iranian, Western and other origins. Quotations and references are given to enable the reader to reach his own conclusions and focus attention on events and their background, both in the Gulf countries and the USSR.

The author wishes to thank the documentation centres and libraries of the Shiloah Centre for Middle Eastern and African Studies, Tel Aviv University, and of the Harry S. Truman Research Institute, Jerusalem, and their staffs, whose help has been of inestimable value.

Aryeh Y. Yodfat
