Bahrain, 1989 to 2026. The smallest state in the Gulf lives on land made from the sea, an aluminum smelter, a banking center and the work of people who are not its citizens. It follows what foreign courts, an arbitral tribunal, a short-lived parliament and a newspaper since closed found inside it: twenty years of payments around the smelter's alumina, which an American company admitted and a British trial could not prove; undersea land granted by royal decree; a Manama bank owned by Iranian state banks, convicted at home and compensated abroad; visas sold for jobs that did not exist. It asks who paid, and why so few did. Covers Alcoa and Aluminium Bahrain, Victor Dahdaleh, Premier Group, and Future Bank with Bank Melli Iran and Bank Saderat Iran.
