Oman Kings and rulers -- Saʻīd bin Sulṭān, Sultan of Zanzibar, 1791-1856

This definitive book on the Sultans of Oman is a thrilling historical account of their action-packed battles, daring expeditions, epic triumphs and ingenious politics in the long nineteenth century. It puts the optic of 'micro-history' on their fascinating lives as they navigated the geopolitics of their time and propelled the politics of the Western Indian Ocean. It offers a comprehensive and in-depth examination of the ambitions of the Omani patriarch Sultan Sayyid Saʻīd and his four sons and shows how integral they were to the political culture of the region.
