<br/><br/> Personal account by a British Royal Marine officer of the Dhofar War - a conflict with communist insurgents in Oman that began in the 1960's and officially ended in 1976 although cross border incursions from the Yemen continued into the 1980's. This war is often overlooked but it remains a good example of successful counterinsurgency.
