Communism & Socialism Editorial Review
"In the Service of the Sultan" offers a first-hand account of the Dhofar insurgency. The book, according to customers, is an excellent and informative read. The author offers great attention to detail, covering the conflict at strategic, tactical, and human levels. There is also an excellent comparison to the Vietnam War. Customers seem to have enjoyed reading the book and appreciate the author's point of view. However, some customers feel that the author focuses too much on military aspects to the detriment of exploring the culture of the Omanis. As for the Kindle edition, there were frequent typographical errors that impeded the reading experience. Overall, the book provides a great insight into the often-forgotten war and is a worthy read.
