Description
Since March 2015, a devastating war has been waged in Yemen by a Saudi-led international coalition supported by Britain and the United States. This conflict has largely been ignored by the world's media, but its humanitarian consequences are severe, with millions facing famine and widespread suffering.
This book offers the first in-depth historical account of the transnational origins of this war, placing it within the context of Yemen's relationship with major powers since the Cold War. By examining new sources and bringing a deep understanding to bear on the subject, the author sheds light on Yemen's profound impact on international affairs.
The book ultimately reveals a larger story about today's political economy of global capitalism, development, and the war on terror, as disparate actors intersect in Arabia. A thought-provoking analysis that challenges readers to consider the complex forces at play in this region.
