In October 2000, as America reeled at the attack of suicide bombers on the USS Cole in Aden harbor, I urgently wanted to know: Why was Yemen a haven for terrorists? And why was a U.S. naval ship sitting in its harbor? As often happens after a catastrophe, the mainstream media was so intent on twigs that they weren’t describing the trees, much less the forest. So I researched the history and culture of Yemen, including its geographical and economic situation. What I learned is summarized in this 6, 000-word report. The same facts help explain the battles currently raging in Yemen. For this Kindle version, I’ve added a brief update covering the past 15 years plus 17 photos and maps.
เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
At age five, I won my first writing award: a three-foot-long fire truck with an ear-splitting siren. I’ve been addicted to writing ever since. Today I’m an independent researcher, freelance writer, and lecturer. The challenge of figuring out how ideas and facts fit together, and then sharing what I know with others, clearly and concisely – that’s what makes me leap out of bed in the morning. Usually I write on art history, but occasionally I make forays into modern events. For more of my works, see https://diannedurantewriter.com/books-essays .
