Since March 2015, a Saudi-led international coalition of forces - supported by Britain and the United States - has waged devastating war in Yemen. Largely ignored by the world's media, the resulting humanitarian disaster and full-scale famine threatens millions. This book offers the first in-depth historical account of the transnational origins of this war, placing it in the illuminating context of Yemen's relationship with major powers since the Cold War. Bringing new sources and a deep understanding to bear on Yemen's profound, unwitting imbrication in international affairs, this explosive book ultimately tells an even larger shock-doctrine story of today's political economy of global capitalism, development, and the war on terror as disparate actors intersect in Arabia.

Why is oil-rich Saudi Arabia involved in a costly and merciless war against neighbouring Yemen, the poorest country in the Middle East ? Why, with billions of dollars of British and American weapons, have the Saudis lost the upper hand to the Houthi rebels ? In this first authoritative account of Yemen's descent into chaos, the author delves into a country still dominated by the pernicious influence of career dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh, who masterminded patronage networks that kept the state weak, allowing conflict and inequality to flourish. After three decades in power, he was forced from office by street protests in 2011. In the chaos following his departure, civil war and regional interference plague the country. While the Saudis battle the Houthis - whom they believe are backed by Iran - ISIS, Al-Qaeda and separatist groups compete to exploit the broken state. This fascinating portrait of modern Yemen vividly reveals the key personalities and events of the last thirty years, and explains how - despite everything - Yemen endures.

Laurent Bonnefoy uses six areas of modern international exchange - globalization, diplomacy, trade, migration, culture and militant Islamism - to restore Yemen to its place at the heart of contemporary affairs. To understand Yemen, he argues, is to understand the Middle East as a whole.
