This paper concerns the inverse spectral problem for analytic simple surfaces of revolution. By `simple' is meant that there is precisely one critical distance from the axis of revolution. Such surfaces have completely integrable geodesic flows with global action-angle variables and possess global quantum Birkhoff normal forms (Colin de Verdiere). We prove that isospectral surfaces within this class are isometric. The first main step is to show that the normal form at meridian geodesics is a spectral invariant. The second main step is to show that the metric is determined from this normal form.
