“Kéchichian offers a nuanced, well-structured, and meticulous assessment. His eye for detail is second only to his sharp and balanced appraisal.”—P.R. Kumaraswamy, Middle East Quarterly
“By far the most comprehensive source book on Middle East monarchies to date. Shot through with new insights and nuggets of previously unavailable information, [it is] a resource that scholars will gratefully mine for many years to come.”—Steffen Hertog, Middle East Journal
“A succinct yet comprehensive overview of the monarchies of the Arab world.... An extensive notes section, a very extensive bibliography, and a thorough index round out this impressive reference work.... Highly recommended.” —Choice
