Review "Beautifully written, Monsoon Revolution's narrative has an intense propulsive force, its sources are rich and varied, and the history it outlines rightly spills over national boundaries and properly situates Oman in the multiple and overlapping geographies of empire, anticolonial mobilization, and a range of different Arab nationalities....This important, substantively rich, readable, and persuasive work should be required reading for any student of revolutions, empires, uprisings, and geopolitics in the Middle East."--Review of Middle Eastern Studies"A well-written, extensively documented, in-depth analysis of the Dhufar revolutionary movement of 1965-76. An important book. Highly recommended."--CHOICE"For an understanding of the contemporary Arabian peninsula, Takriti's analysis will now become the key reference. His analysis of the connections between the internal dynamics of the Dhufari revolution and the ideological and political cross-currents that defined anti-imperialist politics in the Arab world sets an example for how to examine political movements."--Capital and Class"The reader encounters an array of interesting characters and vignettes which alone ought to inspire future researchers...Monsoon Revolution breaks much new ground and provides a baseline for future research...Any subsequent histories of Oman will have to refer to this book."--Arabian Humanities"At last we have an outstanding English language study of the Dhufari revolution...Takriti's purpose is easily stated...and the task is superbly accomplished...Altogether, this is an invaluable book that deserves a wide readership."--Race and Class Read more About the Author Dr. Abdel Razzaq Takriti is a Lecturer in International History at the University of Sheffield.
