In the Direction of the Persian Gulf (1977) delves into the intricate dynamics of Soviet Union's interests in the countries of the Persian Gulf, considering its complex relations with the Arab world and the intricate power politics at play. Spanning from the nineteenth century to the present, the book explores Russia's involvement and efforts to establish a foothold, if not complete control, over this oil-rich region. It sheds light on the Soviet Union's keen interest in Persian Gulf oil and its fuel resources. While examining bilateral and multilateral local relations in great detail, the book also delves into the broader realm of power politics, both within the region and in the wider Indian Ocean. The authors have extensively relied on Soviet sources, but have also drawn upon Arab and Western press, magazines, and monitoring services to provide a comprehensive analysis. This insightful work offers valuable insights into the geopolitical complexities of the Persian Gulf and its significance in global politics.
