The economies of the Middle East are as diverse as they are unequal. Most Middle Eastern countries are known for their tremendous oil output and there exists a significant gap between the development of countries that do not possess large petroleum reserves and those who do.

However, many Middle Eastern States have taken measures to diversify and expand their economies, becoming less reliant on petroleum as source of national income. Many regional currencies enjoy high exchange rates and cities are usually well-appointed and infrastructural sound.

Though overshadowed by later clashes such as the Battles of the Falkland Islands and Jutland, the Battle of Heligoland Bight enjoys the distinction, as Eric Osborne puts it, of being “the first pitched naval engagement of World War I.”  Arising from a “sweep” of the German-controlled waters by a force of Royal Navy vessels, the resulting battle was an early British victory in the naval war.  In this book, Osborne seeks to give the battle its due attention by untangling the confused course of events and demonstrating the subsequent impact of the battle for both sides.

The sweep that led to the battle was the brainchild of Commodore Roger Keyes, an aggressive officer then in command of the Royal Navy’s submarine forces. Chafing at the inaction that characterized the start of the First World War for the naval forces, he conceived an operation that would allow Britain to take the offensive by disrupting German naval patrols of the Bight. On August 27, a force of submarines, destroyers, and light cruisers sorties from port, arriving in the bight by the next morning. The next day, in an operation marked by confusion and miscommunication, the force, backed by a squadron of battlecruisers, managed to sink three German light cruisers and return to port with only minimal casualties.

Osborne’s account of the battle is both engaging and comprehensible, providing much-needed clarity to the muddled clash of ships. Yet the author’s work falls short on two counts. The first is in the significance Osborne assigns to the battle. He argues the battle was critical in determining the cautiousness of German High Seas Fleet during the war, which effectively conceded control of the oceans to the British throughout much of the conflict. Yet such timidity was already evident prior to the battle; indeed, Osborne demonstrates that the reluctance to risk Germany’s capital ships was what ensured the success of the raid. Osborne’s argument in this respect assigns the battle more significance than it warrants.

This problem is reflective of the other major flaw of the book. While an interesting account of the battle, it is not a terribly long one – and it seems that Osborne struggled to reach the page length that he did. Parts of the book seem like little more than padding; his first chapter provides far more background on the prewar naval arms race than seems relevant, and information is often repeated from page to page. This does not diminish the usefulness of Osborne’s account of the battle, but it does suggest that, like his effort to inflate the significance of the battle, he is attempting to make far more out of the clash at Heligoland Bight than it ultimately warrants.

In the end this book was a disappointment.  As I began to read, I was intrigued, but I became less and less interested as it goes along.  The book is a postmodern novel.  It reads a lot like Milan Kundera and is about, love, relationships, politics, and Islam versus the West.  It is somewhat dreamlike and surreal, but not quite magical realism.

The prose is fine.  The characters are weird and do not think like normal people.  I do not think that this is a cultural problem, I just don't think that the psychology is very good.  It does concern the important topic of the clash of ideas between Islam and the West which of course continues to define modern Turkey, but I didn't find it very insightful on that.

Over all a disappointment, which is a shame, because I was very much looking forward to it.

Majed is the head of an Emirati family. He’s quite an unlikeable, angry fellow, full of himself and his power over others.  Dalal is the daughter of his second secret marriage and has been abandoned by her father.  Her dream is to become a famous singer, which is completely against her father’s wishes.  Even though her father has abandoned her, he holds control over her as he attempts to stop what he feels will bring shame and embarrassment to the family.  Mariam is Majed’s niece, the daughter of Majed’s dead brother.  Majed sends Mariam to dental school, mostly due to guilt because of his cheating his brother out of his business.  Both of these young women are greatly restricted in their efforts to lead their own lives by Majed and the Emirati society.

Mariam lives at a university in Cairo, while Dalal lives in the poor section of Cairo so you get a look at the two types of worlds. While it’s obvious why Majed would be an unlikeable character, I couldn’t like Dalal either.  She seemed so immature and only cares about becoming a star.  I found Dalal and her mother to be quite annoying.  Mariam is much easier to like as she struggles to become a dentist, feeling that was the only way she could escape her rigid family and the Emirati society.

This book has been compared to “The Kite Runner” but I didn’t think it had any of the emotional pull of “The Kite Runner”. It was basically a family drama made a bit different by its setting in an Arab culture.

This book was given to me by the publisher in return for an honest review.
