Middle East.- [Fahd Al-Nafisi (Abdullah)] [Dhofar Rebellion - Sultan of Oman Struggles in Zafar], text in Arabic, 5 full-page illustrations, 2 full-page maps, previous owner's ink signature, original pictorial paper wrappers, small gauge to spine, a little rubbed and creased, 8vo, [Beirut], [1975].
⁂ Scarce.
The Dhofar Rebellion, also known as the Dhofar War or the Omani Civil War, was waged from 1963 to 1976 in the province of Dhofar against the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman. The war began with the formation of the Dhofar Liberation Front, a Marxist group which aimed to create an independent state in Dhofar, free from the rule of the Omani Sultan, Said bin Taimur. The rebels also held the broader goals of Arab nationalism which included ending British influence in the Persian Gulf region. Omani and British goals, on the other hand, were to safeguard Oman from communism and halt the spread of communist ideology as part of the broader Cold War.
