Review (PDF) A History Of Modern Oman
The ideal introduction to the history of modern Oman from the eighteenth century to the present, this book combines the most recent scholarship on Omani history with insights drawn from a close analysis of the politics and international relations of contemporary Oman. Jeremy Jones and Nicholas Ridout offer a distinctive new approach to Omani history, building on post-colonial thought and integrating the study of politics and culture. The book addresses key topics including Oman's historical cosmopolitanism, the distinctive role of Omani Islam in the country's social and political life, Oman's role in the global economy of the nineteenth century, insurrection and revolution in the twentieth century, the role of Sultan Qaboos in the era of oil and Oman's unique regional and diplomatic perspective on contemporary issues.

Honestly enjoyed the book content. However the book format was in small font and difficult to read. SO buy in kindle so you can enlarge to decent font size. I wish would somehow note in description of books or filter by Font size.
Excellent book. Not only a good revision of Omani history that pays attention to economic, political, social and cultural aspects, but a deep discussion about the meaning of modernity and nation in the Gulf.Also, the best analysis of the Arab Spring (not only in Oman) I've read yet.Highly recommended.
