Aden Insurgency: The Savage War in Yemen 1962-67 by Jonathan Walker

didactylos's review against another edition

4.0

A choice of book to read b cause my father was somewhat involved in this and I was hoping I might get some information.it really focuses on the period after he was there but the picture it paints of Aden in the early 60s reinforces my view that he was ‘up to something’ and was not an admin type as is suggested by his record.

The book has a definite view and is very well documented. Jump forward to decades later and you can see the same situations being enacted.
