TALE OF A CITY 10 passed away in April 1866, his two sons, Khalid and Ibrahim, having been their father’s vice-regents, divided the rule of themain territories of Sharjah and Ras al-Khaimah between them. Sharjah was once more witness to coups and activities to thwart British imperialism for many decades. Due to the time constraint of having to finish the work and have the first part of the book published before the opening of Sharjah International Book Fair 2016, I limited the contents of the first part of the book to just six chapters covering events up to 1932. The present volume, Tale of a City Part 2, extends the coverage of Part 1 and gives a detailed account of some of the important events that had significant impact on Sharjah and the region during the period 19321951. The book, which has been presented at the Sharjah International Book Fair 2017, also describes the mistreatment that the Sharjah rulers and its population had suffered from at the hands of the British during the same period. Did the engrossing events of Sharjah’s history stop there? Far from it. A lot More of the story of Sharjah can be found in my earlier publication titled My Early Life. PRE ACE
