Oman today is a rapidly modernizing and peaceful country on the fringes of a region in turmoil.It does, however, have a long history of internal strife.In the twentieth century, this strife took the form of two internal conflicts.The Northern Oman or al-Jabal al-Akhdar War of the 1950s was a struggle between the forces of the old tribally based Imamate and the newer Sultanate in the northern part of the country.In the Dhufar War of the 1960s-70s an anti-Sultanate - and later Marxist - front sought secession in the south.J. E. Peterson takes a detailed look at these two wars in the context of insurgency and counter-insurgency warfare.He surveys Oman's transition from a strictly traditional regime controlling only parts of the country to a modern, inclusive state, particularly in terms of security concerns.Peterson analyses the development of the Sultanate's successful responses to security challenges, especially in the creation and evolution of modern armed forces. 'John Peterson provides the nearest we will perhaps ever see of an official history.' David Benest, The British Army Review 'Peterson does an excellent job of developing the thesis that victory in these counter-insurgencies resulted from the two factors of establishing political legitimacy by meeting the local demands of the population and military efforts, which succeeded largely through British support.'
