from Modern Library
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
I found this book absolutely fascinating as it described a time, only 70-odd years ago, when there truly were unexplored reaches, where legend and history still co-existed, and where a culturally sensitive and aware, and properly respectful traveler could find peaceful and fulfilling adventure. This... more info

2.A Winter in Arabia: A Journey Through YemenA Winter in Arabia: A Journey Through Yemen
from The Overlook Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
A travel memoir written in the late 1930s - and 1000 years ago. It's a beautifully written, gentle book of a harsh land and its tribal peoples. Stark, is both poet and pragmatist. More musings and personal interactions than places and things, the book is a pleasure to read and savor. I wonder if the... more info

3.Yemen: The Unknown ArabiaYemen: The Unknown Arabia
from Overlook TP
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
Very much a British Arabist travelogue, and as Sir Charles Doughty, Sir Richard Burton, Wilfred Thesiger, Freya Stark, and T.E. Lawrence-- and perhaps less fervently so Jonathan Raban-- have demonstrated the past century-and-a-half, Mackintosh-Smith takes the trouble to enter the culture. He learns... more info

from Hill and Wang

Customer Review:
I liked the book as a model for what unexpected issues can come up during field work. I especially liked how reflexive the author was in his observations.

7.The Jihad Next Door: The Lackawanna Six and Rough Justice in an Age of TerrorThe Jihad Next Door: The Lackawanna Six and Rough Justice in an Age of Terror
from PublicAffairs
Price: $5.20

Customer Review:
I bought this book excited to learn something new about the war on terrorism, particularly through a case involving US citizens. Living in a city where homegrown terrorist Timothy McVeigh blew up a federal building to prove a point, it hits home with me.
Though this book reads quickly, I agree... more info

from University of Notre Dame Press
Price: $14.95

Customer Review:
Present day Yemen conceals one of the most enigmatic ancient cultures; the land of Sheba, or Arabia Felix, whence (supposedly) came the Great Queen who visited Solomon, and (more historically) the great spices of the Orient, including cinnamon and Frankincense. The wealth of Arabia Felix owed itself... more info

from Spellmount Publishers
Price: $29.96

Customer Review:
Jonathan Walker, presumably an old boy of Downside, and the son of Sir Gervas Walker, to whom he dedicated this book, has written a good history of the British efforts to quell what they deemed the "Aden Insurgency," the efforts in the 1960s by some inhabitants of South Yemen to end the presence of... more info
