Andrew Wheatcroft in this powerful study argues that the founding father of modern Bahrain was its ruler from 1942 to 1961, Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa. Analysing a wealth of new evidence, he suggests that Shaikh Salman should now be considered one of the pioneers of the modern Middle East. He rejects the accepted historiography, based on a partial reading of the evidence, that credits others with the creation of Bahrain's structure of social welfare.
