Kingdom of Bahrain: Political Review looks like an
in-depth look into Bahraini politics.
What motivated you to write the book?
As a
fulltime Political Consultant and a researcher I always struggled to source credible
information on elections analysis, MP’s performance, and political history. By making
such information available in one publication I know I did a huge favor to many
proffessionals seeking such data.
What will readers get out of your book?
I’m certain
they will find it rich and very informative. The Book contains certain parts of
Bahrain’s history that were never documented before, let alone in English. They
will surely get a better understanding of what Bahrain is really like, and get
a closer look on specific incidents that changed the course of history on the
island. As well, detailed elections data, history of legislations,
Constitutional amendments, Human Rights, Women Rights progress and a detailed
timeline of Iran’s intervention record in Bahrain’s affairs.
What inspired you when writing Kingdom of Bahrain:
Political Review?
Two things
did; one was the amount of information that those who took part in reshaping Bahrain
that are not documented, made me feel obliged to interview them in person to
understand the reason behind the deciesions, and the rationale behind the
headlines. Some of them passed away later, and I feel lucky now that I spent
time with such pioneers while they were among us.
The second reason was always the well to present my
country’s unbiased political history in one book. Since almost everything else
that was written before was either politicized or missing a lot of information.
Therefore we made sure this book presents
actual facts and not heresay, as we kept our opinions to ourselves, to deliver
the first comprehensive publications of it’s kind.
When writing Kingdom of Bahrain: Political Review did
anything stand out as particularly challenging?
The biggest
challenge of all was certainly the availability of data. Many claimed to know
or to have proof of their claims, but very few agreed to share them. Another
challenge was the inconsistency of the information itself. Both challenges made
things harder for us to collect and exmine. A major example were the Municipal
elections results of 2002; each newspaper published differint numbers. We
actually called and met the candidates to clarify the information individually
and came out with accurate information never seen before in result.
What do you like to do when not writing?
I have
always been a family man, I enjoy my time with family. I do as well enjoy
reading, beside watching good TV shows, movies and am a big Music enthusiast. The
West Wing was always a major drive for me to get into politics. Performers
like Dean Martin and BB King somehow shaped my taste for finer things too.
