Book Description

June 6, 2002
"Oman" lifts the veil of self-serving secrecy which has shrouded the affairs of one of the world's last "closed" countries. It details rivalry and intrigue between people in high places, chronicling personal pride, rapacious greed and undiluted lust for power.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'One of the most enduring and compelling mysteries of the Second World War.' Mail on Sunday 'It reads like the plot of a thriller... strongly recommended.' Focus
