O knihe
At the height of the Cold War, Britain went to war in the Middle East. On loan to the Sultanate of Oman, a small number of British officers and NCOs led an Arab army in a secret proxy war against Russian and Chinese led forces attempting to take control of Southern Arabia. Defeat would have handed Russia a warm water port and control of one of the world's most strategically important choke points at the Straits of Hormuz, a 22 mile narrow passage through which Arabia ships oil to the West. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Unflinching honest, 'Soldiers of The Sultan' is a personal eyewitness account diarised during the nadir of the conflict when communists controlled 90% of the high ground and initiative. With echoes of a second Vietnam, this was a war that had to be won.
