We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Dangerous frontiers : campaigning in Somaliland and Oman" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The second part of the book deals with the Authors second period of service with Muslims, a quarter of a century later. This time in the Southern Province of Oman - Dhofar. Here he commanded the Northern Frontier Regiment of the Sultans Armed Force in a limited but fierce war against Communist Insurgents. It shows how the tide was turned against a brave enemy fighting on their home ground - the savage wadis and cliffs of the jebel.
Dangerous Frontiers will appeal to a wide audience, including those interested in military and world history and in those two little known areas - the Horn of Africa and Southern Oman. In both campaigns it reflects the mutual liking and respect that the handful of British officers had for their Muslim soldiers and the soldiers for their leaders. It is written with humor and an understanding of other cultures
