🔴 📖 **“The Center of the World: A Global History of the Persian Gulf from the Stone Age to the Present” by Allen James Fromherz**

"_Fromherz focuses on two main characteristics that have framed and formed the Gulf as a region: first, it was open to commerce, people and ideas and, second, that it mostly managed to wriggle out of the grip of larger empires. Both were very much functions of geography._"
