Since March 2015, a Saudi-led international coalition of forces--supported by Britain and the U.S.--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 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.
