The author, fresh out of veterinary school in the mid-1970s, served in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps with the British Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment in the country of Oman during Oman's fight against communist rebels. Higgins treated ailments of the goats, camels, sheep, and cattle of local subsistence herders as part of an effort to win over the civilian population to the anti-communist cause. He also treated the purebred dogs and thoroughbred horses of Oman's royalty. His interactions with all levels of society, from impoverished refugees to royalty to the highest tier of professional SAS soldiers, offer a unique perspective on this place and time. The book includes a wealth of color and b&w photos taken by the author during the 1970s in Oman. -- Book News, Inc.
