Destroying Yemen: What Chaos in Arabia Tells Us about the World | Isa Blumi
2 posts
Since March 2015, a Saudi-led international coalition of forcessupported by Britain and the United Stateshas waged devastating war in Yemen. Largely ignored by the worlds media, the resulting humanitarian disaster and full-scale famine threatens millions. Destroying Yemen offers the first in-depth historical account of the transnational origins of this war, placing it in the illuminating context of Yemens relationship with major powers since the Cold War. Bringing new sources and a deep understanding to bear on Yemens profound, unwitting implication in international affairs, this explosive book ultimately tells an even larger story of todays political economy of global capitalism, development, and the war on terror as disparate actors intersect in Arabia.

Don‘t get me wrong. Biscuit thinks Yemen is some sort of tasty sausage. She‘s still learning though. #dogsoflitsy #beagle

Geeklet @sskk It‘s definitely a dense read. I feel like it‘s meant for people who already have a good knowledge of the area and the current wartime situation there. I‘m having to take a lot of breaks to search names and places. It‘s interesting though. I guess I never realized how bad the attacks were there. 6y

I‘m always interested in international conflicts that don‘t get a lot of media coverage. This book caught my eye at the library so I picked it up. Gonna try to work through it tonight since our internet is down for a few days.
