In Part 1 of his book the author describes his life as a young officer in the Somaliland Scouts in the (then) British Protectorate of Somaliland. At that time tribal quarrels, generally over water, were taking place in the troubled strip of country between the Protectorate and Ethiopia; the Ogaden. It was the Scouts difficult task to keep the warring clansmen apart. It gives a vivid account of a nineteenyearold in command of Somali troops in a fascinating and unpredictable country.The second part of the book deals with the Authors second period of service with Muslims, a quarter of a century later. This time in the Southern Province of Oman Dhofar. Here he commanded the Northern Frontier Regiment of the Sultans Armed Force in a limited but fierce war against Communist Insurgents. It shows how the tide was turned against a brave enemy fighting on their home ground the savage wadis and cliffs of the jebel.Dangerous Frontiers will appeal to a wide audience, including those interesting in military and world history and in those two little known areas the Horn of Africa and Southern Oman. In both campaigns it reflects the mutual liking and respect that the handful of British officers had for their Muslim soldiers and the soldiers for their leaders. It is written with humor and an understanding of other cultures.

This book has some great insights into campaigning in Oman, but I found some parts a bit dense and hard to follow. There’s a lot of information packed in here, which is good, but it can feel overwhelming at times. Still, I appreciate the perspective it offers.

I picked up this book on a whim and absolutely loved it! The detailed accounts of campaigning in Somaliland were both eye-opening and captivating. It really brings the region's challenges and culture to life for anyone interested in geopolitics. Definitely a worthwhile read for those curious about the Middle East!
