Drawing on a wealth of exclusive ?photographs, color diagrams, and ORBATs, it presents a detailed analysis of the ?origins, structure, and equipment of their armed forces, police, and intelligence ?services.?By examining the historical development of these forces, this book sheds light on ?the transformation of each state's security arrangements from reliance on ?the ruler's tribal forces and retainers to professional security forces. This volume offers an invaluable reference source for academics, enthusiasts and researchers ?interested in the history, structure, and equipment of security forces in the Middle ?East.
