Summary

Before 1970 Oman was one of the more isolated countries on the Arab peninsula. The growth of the oil economy during the seventies, however, has brought rapid change to the small towns and villages that make up the country. This book captures the tone and feel of this desert culture on the verge of substantial, and probably irreversible, change.
