Public ISBD Titre : The Myth of Arab Piracy in the Gulf Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sultan Muhammad Al-Qasimi, Auteur Mention d'édition : 2e éd. Editeur : New York : Routledge Année de publication : 2006 Importance : xvii-239 p. Présentation : ill., couv. ill. Format : 24 cm.

However, the Company did not possess the necessary warships and needed to persuade the British Government to commit the Royal Navy to achieve this dominance. Accordingly the East India Company orchestrated a campaign to misrepresent the Qawasim as pirates who threatened all maritime activity in the northern Indian Ocean and adjacent waters. Any misfortune that happened to any ship in the area was attributed to the 'Joasmee pirates'. This campaign was to lead eventually to the storming of Ras al-Khaimah and the destruction of the Qawasim. Based on extensive use of the Bombay Archives, previously unused by researchers, this book provides a thorough reinterpretation of a vital period in Gulf history. It also illuminates the style and method of the East India Company at a critical period in the expansion of the British Empire.
