Yemen (Nations In Focus)

Yemen is a country that is critical to U.S. security and our political interests, yet most Americans know virtually nothing about it. This book unlocks its secrets and explains its complexities in simple yet compelling language.• Supplies a deep examination of a country that most policy experts only possess a superficial knowledge of • Provides insights into why tribes have been crucial throughout Yemen's history and even to the modern day • Reveals why characterizations of Yemen as "a weak state," "lawless," or "lacking a rule of law" are inaccurate and simplistic

I'm originally Yemeni and have read a number of books about the country. I have never come across such a complete history of the country. I strongly suggest this book for anyone who wants to learn more about the details of the country.

this book tells you EVERYTHING about Yemen! It's just a great book!

Great book, timely delivery.
