...quiescent Imam whom the British worry about. He is the chief threat to the garrison post from which they watch over their Persian Gulf oil interests. Reassured, the British are now preparing to create a second federation in Aden's even emptier Eastern Protectorate, where the British-run Iraq Petroleum Co. hopes to find...
...after exactly 18 months in power, Kassem is still quite literally Iraq's "sole leader," and he apparently feels he can afford some changes.
