BRITAIN’S DEPARTURE FROM ADEN AND SOUTH ARABIA – WITHOUT GLORY BUT WITHOUT DISASTER.

Gerlach Press (2020) Edited by Noel Brehony and Clive Jones

This recent publication is based on a conference held at the Royal United Services Institute and deals with the final years of Britain’s presence in South Arabia. Jonathan contributed to the conference and has written a chapter for the book entitled ‘The South Arabian Army – A Poisoned Chalice?’, which examines the loyalty and relevance of the last locally raised Arab Army. With a departing
British presence, how effective was this army and how did it enhance or hinder Britain’s withdrawal
from South Arabia in 1967.
