5.0 out of 5 stars Of Course it's banned in the Gulf!

By A Customer

This review is from: Working in the Persian Gulf: Survival Secrets for Men and Women (The Real Story) (Paperback)

Although this book is now out-of-date, I found it funny, fascinating and informative. The author says not to try to take this book into the Gulf countries, and why. If you are considering going to the Gulf to work, READ THIS! I am a librarian looking for work there and have read extensively on this topic and find that the best books are by women. Ms. Camenson's book has a completeness and practicality that others lack, including warnings and stories to make you pause. Would that she would update it for the Internet age!
