Ash Rossiter’s recent book, Security in the Gulf: Local Militaries before British Withdrawal, provides an overview of British Gulf security policy before 1971. Rather than reverting to its own military forces, Britain desired the Gulf rulers to acquire a monopoly over the use of force within their territories and to be in a stronger position to defend their own domains. In this talk, the author discusses the security forces that emerged – armed police forces, gendarmeries, and militaries – and Britain’s involvement in their establishment and running.
