Yemen’ s inhospitable mountain ranges and fiercely independent
people have kept all but the most determined invader at bay; and
even the Ottomans, when they entered the region in the 16th
century, were hard put to achieve more than a tenuous occupation of
its highlands. Their military campaign was chronicled by Qutb
al-Din al-Nahrawali, a scholar charged by an Ottoman general to
document his army’ s progress. "Lightning Over Yemen" makes an
invaluable 16th century Ottoman source document available in
English for the first time. Al-Nahrawali’ s work vividly brings to
life a vital period in the history of this far-flung province of
the Ottoman empire, which Clive Smith’ s exemplary translation
fully conveys.
