    First edition, first printing, of this fascinating document, prepared for the US Government's Committee on Foreign Affairs to consider US interests in and policies towards the Persian Gulf, in the lead up to and immediately following the oil price shock of October 1973: "If the Persian Gulf appeared to some Americans to be a remote, and perhaps inconsequential part of the world at the beginning of 1973, it was, by the end of the year, an area of major interest and speculation for many Americans" (Lee H. Hamilton, chair, Subcommittee on the Near East and South Asia (p. v). Through a series of witness statements and memoranda, this paper covers arms supply policy to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the lower Gulf states and Iran since 1942, its regional and international implications (Iraq, Yemen, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Cold War), and how this policy alone is insufficient to build the desired political and economic relations with Gulf states; Saudi-Iran relations (rivalry over the Arabian Gulf (the Shah's perception of this as "his lake"), and mutual mistrust of the USSR; the need to promote non-oil economic and trade relations and development (a neglected area, in which Japanese business is perceived as being ahead of the game). Octavo. Original printed self-wrappers, wire stitched as issued. Short closed tear and curling at foot of front wrapper. In excellent condition.
