Operation Oman background

Operation Oman

A covert British Army operation in Oman lasted from 1969 to 1976, a remarkable but previously underappreciated counterinsurgency effort.

The film "Operation Oman" tells the story of a secret war fought by Britain in Oman over 40 years ago, as a former Major, Nicholas Ofield, returns to revisit the battlegrounds. The movie features interviews with Colonel Mike Ball and Major Mike Austin, who were also present during the conflict. It's the story of one of the most successful counter-insurgency campaigns in history, yet it remains largely unknown.
