Summaries

Between 1969 and 1976 elements of the British Army fought in a secret war in Oman. Considered to be the most successful counter insurgency operation ever undertaken, the story is largely untold: until now.

More than 40 years have passed since Britain fought a secret war in Oman. Major Nicholas Ofield has returned for the first time since the conflict to retread his battlegrounds. Supported with interviews from Colonel Mike Ball and Major Mike Austin, also present at the time. Operation Oman is the story of one of the most successful counter insurgency campaigns ever fought. But you've never heard of it.—Tristan Ofield
