1951182329London: Ordnance Survey 1951. Later editions marked "restricted" revised from those produced by the War Office in 1941-42 and with isogonals correct to 1953. They show the international borders between Iran and Iraq but warn that they are still under negotiation. These maps are in a variety of later editions all printed in 1951 Baghdad fifth; Basra eighth; Tehran third; Bushehr fourth. This was a critical year in Iranian politics as the country underwent the Abadan Crisis saw the assassination of Razmara and the election of Mosaddeq. In the same period Iraq saw a number of anti-government protests including the 1952 Iraqi Intifada against the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty. Over these years British and American forces kept close watch on the region's development and likely printed these maps printed on rayon as escape items to issue to forces in case fighting broke out. Escape maps were first introduced by MI9 during the Second World War designed to be easily smuggled into POW camps. They were printed on silk and for "good reasons: silk is flexible and durable in a way that paper is not and it is noiseless when hidden about one's person" Bond. They continued to be issued throughout the 20th century and into the modern day especially during the 1960s and the Vietnam War. 2 sheets of rayon 596 x 715 mm; 610 x 676 mm colour map on each side key on map of Tehran; text in English and French. Sometime folded edges fraying more so to sheet of Baghdad and Basra: a very good copy. Barbara A. Bond "Escape and evasion maps of World War II" The British Library 2016. unknown

1961ABC_47301Baghdad: Wizarat al-Kharijiyah = Ministry of Foreign Affairs 1961. Original printed wrappers stapled. 8vo. Arabic text. First edition of the second of two rare pamphlets published by the Iraqi government opposing the independence of Kuwait. The first pamphlet published in English and Arabic outlined Kuwait's historical connection to Iraq and analysed its "imperialist relations" with Britain. This second one in Arabic throughout prints the minutes of the Political Affairs Committee of the Arab League which met in Cairo on 20 July 1961 to consider Kuwait's request to join the League.Kuwait emerged as an independent state in June 1961 after sixty-two years as a British protectorate. With a new constitution it held its first parliamentary elections in 1963 thereby becoming the first Arab state in the Gulf to establish a parliament. Such political developments married with growing wealth and modernisations in health culture and finance helped to make Kuwait the most prosperous state in the Arabian Peninsula.The Iraqi government argued that the move toward independence was a continuation of Kuwait's relationship with Britain albeit under a new guise. Furthermore they felt that the historical links between Iraq and Kuwait entitled the former to control over the latter and one suspects a share of its growing wealth. This position partly detailed in the pamphlet led to a point of crisis with Iraq threatening invasion. To the relief of Kuwait the Iraqis were eventually deterred by the Arab League's promise of military opposition.The wrappers are a little dusty two thick black lines on the front wrapper seemingly erasing a stamp another stamp partially visible on the back wrapper most likely a bookseller's name and address "Baghdad" is legible. Internally clean and bright. Overall in very good condition.l Jisc LibraryHub 1 copy BL; WorldCat 219629380 3 copies. Wizarat al-Kharijiyah [= Ministry of Foreign Affairs], unknown
