Just finished the book last night, or should I say at 4 AM this morning. Having worked in Oman in the past and found out about Mirbat whilst working there, I have been interested in the history of modern Oman. One thing I have always wondered about Mibat, is what was going on in the DG fort and the Wali's fort while the BATT team were fighting the Adoo? A lot is made of the 9 men holding off the massed attack, (please excuse my poor wording of that comment, I mean no disrespect to those guys), and I have always had the impression that the people in those two locations were not fighting against the Adoo attack. I was aware of the two DG fort guys who were mentioned, but this book was the first I had read about the Askaris and the head wounds they received. Was there any resistance put up against the attack from those two locations?
