The wooden dhow, with its characteristic lateen sail, is an appropriate icon for the early trading world of the Indian Ocean. It was based on free trade unhindered by monopolies or superpower domination and pre-dated 'globalisation'. This book focuses on the early trading world of the Indian Ocean, up through the fifteenth century.
