For well over a century, the Fakhro family have played a leading role in Bahrain' s public life and trading scene. The Fakhros of Bahrain, Merchants & Reformers, part memoir, part history, gives a detailed account of the family and its members, and of the establishment and consolidation of a major merchant house alongside 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 engaging in these pages - a compelling slice of human family and merchant history.
Adel Fakhro has written a fascinating account of how the family business grew since his grandfather' s time. He also tells the reader a good deal that goes wider than business . . . This goes with a notable and early commitment to the education, status and role of women as well as a broader sense of public responsibility and liberal values. " -- Sir Roger Tomkys
