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. A nation with a
rich civilization that has spanned 3,000 years, Yemen is the only
democratic republic in the Arabian Peninsula. While events in
modern-day Yemen are often in international news, most Americans
know nothing about this country-nor are there easy-to-read,
up-to-date resources for lay audiences. This book fills the gap in
the literature. It describes Yemen's geography, economy, politics
and government, history, culture, society and contemporary events,
presenting a comprehensive but accessible overview of the country
from many different angles-coverage that is long overdue. Editor
Steven C. Caton has taken care to create a resource that is readily
comprehensible to non-specialists such as high school and college
students and general readers as well as highly informative for
those with previous knowledge about Yemen. His thorough treatment
provides synthetic overviews of key topics, discusses and dismisses
certain misconceptions about Yemen, offers surprising perspectives
on the relatively unknown country, and underscores Yemen's
importance to the region and the wider world-both in ancient times
and today. 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
