Book Review: "The Empty Throne: America's Role in the Yemens"


In this book, Bruce Riedel, one of America's leading experts on the Middle East, provides a comprehensive history of US relations with the various entities of north and south Yemen, as well as the first in-depth review of America's role in the deadly Saudi-directed war in the Yemens. Three Presidents - Obama, Trump, and Biden - have been deeply involved in this conflict. Riedel places this current war in the context of America's history of engaging with the Yemens, from President Kennedy's handling of a Soviet and Egyptian coup in Yemen in the fall of 1962 to multiple Presidents' interaction with the dictator Ali Abdallah Salih, who united the Yemens. This is a fascinating story with a colorful cast of characters, and America and the Yemens will be of interest to readers seeking to have a better understanding of America's role in the Middle East and the tragic encounter that has created the worst humanitarian catastrophe in our lives.
