Book excerpt: Scholarship on Ottoman Yemen in the 19th and early 20th centuries is still in the beginning stages, and there are no modern military histories in European languages of that period. This book captures the turbulence of late Ottoman Yemen with vivid descriptions of the battles and campaigns between the Zaydī Shiite tribesmen of Yemen and the Ottoman forces. It also provides a clear analysis of the political context of these wars, discussing how the political structures and ideologies of both the Ottomans and the Zaydī rebels impacted the course of these wars and, in turn, how these wars affected these political structures and ideologies.
