Britain and the Yemen civil war, 1962-1965 : ministers, mercenaries and mandarins : foreign policy and the limits of covert action
"Britain and the Yemen Civil War, 1962–1965: Ministers, Mercenaries and Mandarins" by Clive Jones offers a comprehensive analysis of British covert involvement in the Yemeni civil war during the early 1960s. Drawing extensively on primary sources, Jones examines how British support for Royalist forces, including the use of mercenaries, was influenced by internal policy debates within Whitehall and international constraints following the Suez crisis. The book assesses the effectiveness of these covert actions in imposing a war of attrition on Egyptian-backed Republican forces and explores the unintended consequences that led to the political decline of the South Arabian Federation. Published by Sussex Academic Press in 2004, this work provides valuable insights into the complexities of British foreign policy and the limitations of covert operations
