Biography
Spencer Mawby
'This is an excellent thought-provoking study and a must read for the serious student of the period...I highly recommend it.' - Asian Affairs
'This important work for the Middle Eastern specialist comes at a time of apparent re-awakened interest in Aden as the 40th anniversary of the British withdrawal in 1967 approaches. It is painstakingly researched and draws on much previously unpublished material.' - Asian Affairs
'Mawby has produced a carefully analysed and detailed Arabian story, which tells us a good deal about the difficulties of dealing with nationalism and sectarian conflict ... It should be read by all students interested in British foreign policy in the Middle East.' – Saki R. Dockrill, The English Historical Review
