A very detailed book on Qatar, required reading for anyone who thinks it's a great place to host the World Cup. Did get lost in the detail at times, though. Problem with the file resolved by the publisher kindly sending out a PDF, though this made it harder to read.

Thanks to the publisher for sending me a PDF copy of the book since something went awry on here (hence the updated review).

A bit of a marmite book for me - some stuff I enjoyed reading about but others didn't really change the perception I had of Qatar before I started reading this book. It did seem to waffle on a bit at times too and not sure it helped the book or not.
