Modern Kuwait – David Sapsted (1980 First Edition)

Published in 1980, Modern Kuwait by David Sapsted offers a richly illustrated portrait of Kuwait during a remarkable period of transformation. Featuring color photography by Gustavo Ferrari, the book explores Kuwaiti society, traditional souks, architecture, government, education, the oil industry, and everyday life before the 1990 invasion. Its photographs provide a fascinating record of familiar landmarks, historic neighborhoods, and a rapidly developing nation.

This first-edition hardcover retains its original photographic dust jacket, featuring Kuwait's historic Seif Palace clock tower. Bound in vibrant blue cloth, the book is in very good vintage condition, with light wear to the dust jacket and a well-preserved interior. A handwritten presentation inscription dated July 17, 1982, appears on the opening endpaper.
