In today's episode, Tom discusses the modern history of the Sultanate of Oman with John Trigg, co-creator of the Cold War: Year by Year on YouTube. They discuss three precursors to the 1962-1979 conflict in Oman's Dhofar governorate: the Buraimi Dispute, the Jebel Akhdar War, and the British retreat from "East of Suez." This is the first episode in a mini-series on the Dhofar War, which has been characterized in some circles as "the most important war you've never heard of."
