There are also a number of websites that include details about the war in Dhofar. They usually centre on the activities of the the Special Forces.

There are a number of references in the medical literature to events in different FSTs  by a number of authors.

This list consists of various accounts of Oman and of the war in Dhofar which give both background and detailed descriptions of that insurgency. They are all written by those whose points of view were from the government's side except those by Professor Fred Halliday who clearly favoured and wrote from the insurgents' side. I understand that the views that he held then are not necessarily the views that he holds now.

Some of these books are now out of print but can be obtained from specialist bookshops or from the local County Library Service (even in  Norfolk !!!)

I would have liked to have published pages from some of these books but copyright rules apply and the cost of gaining permissions is outside my budget. Some magazines have been generous enough not to ask for a fee. I have simply listed those books that I have come across whilst researching material for this site.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOI) has of course put a lot of material into the public domain relating to the war in Dhofar. Some of it appears to be shamelessly sanitised. Whoever copied DEFE13/779 "Historical details of the Dhofar campaign"  in neat blue ink from Serial 1 on 1st Oct 1970 to the end in 1977 has to be congratulated on that herculean task but this webmaster takes the view that whilst it might be accurate it is not complete and that the full details did not make it all the way to the PRO in Kew.
