For well over a century, the Fakhro family have played a leading role in Bahrain's public life and trading scene. This book, part memoir, part history, gives a detailed account of a family and its members, of the establishment and consolidation of a major merchant house, and of the growth and development of a nation. Anyone with an interest in Bahrain, or in how business and society work in this Gulf nation, will find something here to interest them.
