Description: Journey through one of the world's most vital maritime chokepoints in this sweeping exploration of the Strait of Hormuz. From its geological formation and ancient trade routes to the imperial contests of Portuguese, Safavid, and Omani powers, this book traces how a narrow channel of water became the beating heart of global energy and geopolitics. Blending history, ecology, and contemporary analysis, it examines the tanker wars, the communities living along its shores, and the delicate tensions that shape its waters today. A rich, multifaceted portrait of a passage where geography, commerce, and power converge.
