Title: Guerrilla war, counterinsurgency, and state formation in Ottoman Yemen, 1872–1911 / by Vincent Wilhite.
Description: Boston, Massachusetts : Brill, [2024] | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: “Scholarship on Ottoman Yemen in the 19th and early 20th centuries is still in the beginning stages, and there are no military histories of that period. This book captures the turbulence of late Ottoman Yemen with vivid descriptions of the battles and campaigns between the ZaydīShiite 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 Zaydīrebels impacted the course of these wars and, in turn, how these wars affected these political structures and ideologies” – Provided by publisher.
