SAS: Secret War: Operation Storm in the Middle East

In 1970 the SAS was called in to support the Sultan of Omanâ€™s armed forces in their bitter struggle against a Communist-backed insurrection.

The task in hand was not to obliterate the enemy, for these were the Sultanâ€™s subjects, but to persuade the rebels to join the Omani governmentâ€™s side, as well as encouraging the independently-minded peoples of the Jebel Dhofar to abandon their support for the insurgents. If necessary, these objectives were to be achieved by demonstrating that the insurgents could never win the armed struggle.

This is the gripping story of the part played in the conflict by the men and squadrons of the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, the first full SAS squadron in the region. Written by the man who commanded that unit and who successfully raised the first bands of Dhofari irregulars to fight for the Sultan, SAS: Secret War provides a unique and personal insight into what was to become one of the most successful counter-insurgency campaigns of the twentieth century.
