The Sultanate of Oman is one of the few "good news" stories to have
emerged from the Middle East in recent memory. This book traces the
narrative of a little-known and relatively stable Arab country
whose history of independence, legacy of interaction with diverse
cultures, and enlightened modern leadership have transformed it in
less than fifty years from an isolated medieval-style potentate to
a stable, dynamic, and largely optimistic country. At the heart of
this fascinating story is Oman's sultan, Qaboos bin Sa'id, friend
to both East and West, whose unique leadership style has resulted
in both domestic and foreign policy achievements during more than
four decades in office. Exploring Oman from a historical
perspective, Funsch examines how the country's unique blend of
tradition and modernization has enabled it to succeed while others
in the region have failed. Accounts of the author's own experiences
with Oman's transformation add rich layers of depth, texture, and
personality to the narrative.
