Between 1962 and 1965 Britain engaged in covert operations in
support of Royalist forces fighting the Egyptian backed Republican
regime that had seized power in the Yemeni capital Sana'a in
September 1962. Covert action was regarded as a legitimate tool of
foreign policy as Britain attempted to secure the future of the
newly formed South Arabian Federation against the animus of Nasser.
The use of covert action, as well as the quasi approval given to
the use of mercenaries to support the Royalist cause, was the
inevitable result of policy differences within Whitehall (most
notably between the 'mandarins' of the Colonial Office and the
Foreign Office) as well as international constraints imposed upon
the UK in the aftermath of the Suez crisis. The book examines the
extent to which British policy, while successful in imposing a war
of attrition upon Nasser in the Yemen, contributed to the political
demise of the very objective covert action was designed to secure:
the future stability of the Federation of South Arabia.
