Without glory in Arabia: the British retreat from Aden
Peter Hinchcliffe, John T. Ducker, Maria Holt


I.B.Tauris, 2006 - 327 pages
'So we left without glory but without disaster', Sir Humphrey Trevelyan, the last High Commissioner of the Federation of South Arabia. In 1967, 139 years after their arrival in Aden, the British withdrew from the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Using important, previously unpublished material and original interviews with a range of individuals, both British and Yemeni, who lived through this fascinating period of colonial history, Without Glory in Arabia tells the story of the final few years of British rule in Aden and the neighboring Eastern and Western Aden Protectorates. While some would argue that British rule had, on the whole, been beneficial to the local population, others insist that very little was achieved. Worse, Britain was unable to find a structure of government constitution which met the conflicting needs of Aden and the Protectorate. This illuminating book brilliantly sets the "scuttle" in con**** with a thorough re-examination of the background against which the events of the 1960s unfolded in this obscure backwater of the British Empire.

Revolution and Foreign Policy: The Case of South Yemen, 1967-1987
Fred Halliday

Cambridge University Press, 2002 - History - 336 pages
This book is a study of the foreign policy of South Yemen, the most radical of Arab states, from the time of its independence from Britain in 1967 until 1987. It covers relations with the west, including the USA, and with the USSR and China, and also highlights South Yemen's conflicts with its neighbours, North Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Oman. The author provides a detailed analysis of the foreign relations of one of the USSR's closest allies in the Third World and shows how conflicts within the country relate to changes in foreign policy. South Yemen has traditionally not been an easy country to study, both because it is so secretive and because the revolutionary regime still arouses such strong passions. Professor Halliday was able to visit the country and to make an outstandingly thorough study of the foreign policy of an Arab state.



Aden insurgency: the savage war in South Arabia, 1962-1967

Jonathan Walker

Spellmount, 2005 - History - 332 pages
Featuring vivid eyewitness accounts from combatants, civilians and terrorists alike, a new, riveting and important account of Britain's last End of Empire conflict. As Cold War tensions escalated, a brutal fight was contested with the rebel tribes of the wild interior as well as terrorist assassins in the back streets of Aden.


Revealing the truth behind the 'Mad Mitch' legend and his clash with the high command and the successes and disasters of early SAS operation, this is one of the very few modern studies to examine Britain's clandestine war in neighboring Yemen alongside her conflict in South America.



The End of Empire in the Middle East: Britain's Relinquishment of Power in Her Last Three Arab Dependencies


Glen Balfour-Paul



Cambridge University Press, 1994 - History - 304 pages
This book is an original and perceptive study of Britain's withdrawal from her last Arab Dependencies, based on a combination of first hand experience and extensive research. Glen Balfour-Paul opens by outlining Britain's position in the Middle East at the end of the Second World War. He then presents in three separate chapters a detailed account of the forces that culminated in withdrawal from each of the countries. In the final chapters, the author compares and contrasts the three episodes in terms of Britain's evolving attitude to empire, public pressures from within and outside the territories, the tensions that arose between policy makers in London and those executing their decisions, attitudes of British officials to their task and the political and economic aftermath of independence.


Aden and the Yemen

British policy in Aden and the protectorates 1955-67: last outpost of a Middle East empire

Spencer Mawby


Routledge, 2005 - History - 210 pages
This book provides the first detailed account of the confrontation which took place between Britain and Nasser in the Colony of Aden and the surrounding states prior to British withdrawal in 1967. It argues that Britain's determination to contain Nasser's influence led them to pursue an expansionist policy which exacerbated Arab hostility and radicalized the politics of the region. The book suggests that the British motivation for this campaign was a determination to confront Nasser and guide the politics of this corner of the Arabian peninsular. The author examines how the failure of this British policy led to the victory of the National Liberation Front and the establishment in South Yemen of the only Marxist Government in the Arab world.
