Description
Yemen Dancing on the Heads of Snakes is a gripping account of Yemen's turbulent history and its role in modern terrorism. Victoria Clark returns to her birthplace to explore the country's complex past, meeting politicians, tribal leaders, oil workers, and ordinary Yemenis along the way. Her insightful and engaging narrative untangles the threads of Yemen's history before examining its involvement with al-Qaeda and the wider jihadist movement. This book offers a lively and clear picture of a little-known state whose chronic instability is increasingly drawing attention from readers.
