Visionary statesmen who have created an enduring state edifice through purposeful consensus and persuasion remain a historical rarity.

He pioneered the modernization of the country and ultimately realized his dream of an effective framework for collaboration with neighboring Gulf states.

This book adopts a scholarly approach in analyzing the UAE's unique federal experience, its phenomenal achievements and H. H. Shaikh Zayid's far-sighted policies.

The factual foundation of the book and its meticulous documentation make it a valuable record covering an important era in the contemporary history of the Arab Gulf region.
