The 1650 treaty agreement between Oman and Britain declared that
the bond between the two nations should be "unshook to the end of
time." It was an ambitious goal, but whatever the political ups and
downs, a remarkable relationship endures to this day, charted here
in this authoritative history by two former British Ambassadors to
Oman. Laing and Alston, both former British Ambassadors to Oman,
have researched their subject closely, assembling an authoritative
history which runs from the earliest contacts in the mid-17th
century through to the end of the Dhofar wars in 1975. Their
research sheds new and clearly documented evidence on how events
unfolded over the past fifty years. This landmark book will be
vital to all historians of the region and to analysts of the
current geopolitical situation in the Persian Gulf.
