25 Days to Aden is the story of how in a week in 2015 the Gulf
States pulled together a ten-nation coalition and the biggest
military operation they ever launched unilaterally. It is an
amazing account of Arab militaries doing what America would not,
preventing Iran from taking a foothold on the Arabian Peninsula.
The risks for global security were huge: Iran already overshadowed
one of the world's greatest maritime straits, at Hormuz, and now it
sought to dominate the southern approaches to the Suez Canal as
well. Aden had to hold out against the Houthis. The Gulf States
were used to America stepping up at such moments, but the White
House was partway through negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran. No
help would come from Washington. Instead, for the first time, the
Gulf States acted alone. Told by an expert communicator on the
region, it is a unique story. If the US is truly a global empire in
decline, then the story may hold important pointers for a future of
warfare driven by emergent powers in the gap left by the withdrawal
of American influence.
