Welcome to Litsy!

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. Destroying Yemen 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 implication in international affairs, this explosive book ultimately tells an even larger story of today�s political economy of global capitalism, development, and the war on terror as disparate actors intersect in Arabia.
