Yemen by Victoria Clark

A lively, concise portrait that blends history, reportage and travelogue to explain Yemen’s complex social and political landscape: its tribal structures, regional divisions, religious currents and the legacy of Ottoman and colonial rule; the book traces the roots of modern conflict and state weakness, discusses revolutionary movements and the rise of Islamist militancy, and brings the country to life through on-the-ground encounters and vivid cultural detail.
