The book examines the military history of Aden Colony from 1839 including the fractious turn of the century Border Commissions with Turkey and the defeat of British forces near Aden by the Turks in 1915. Great Britain successfully defended the base for the rest of The Great War and throughout the Second World War.rnrnThe period after 1945 was one of rising tension as Great Britain drew down its Imperial commitments from the Near and Middle East. Britain's intention to retain a military base in Aden was rejected by Egypt, who, having embarrassed Great Britain during the 1956 Suez Crisis, set about supporting Yemeni aspirations with subversion, in concert with the Soviet Union and China. This ...
During the early 1960s the Cold War reached its climax. Britain's dwindling power in the Middle East was under siege from Arab nationalism, the Communist bloc and from American designs in the region. Aden, with its strategic military base and old Protectorate buffer zone, was soon the main battleground. The 1962 Egyptian-inspired coup in the neighbouring Kingdom of North Yemen further tightened the noose. So began a bitter and bloody insurgency war in South Arabia. British regular an special forces were soon pitted against growing and formidable insurgency forces, fighting both a war in the mountains and an urban conflict in the backstreets of Aden. Intelligence agencies vied for control of ...

While conventional wisdom points to the Arab-Israeli War of 1967 as the gateway for the founding of the first Arab American national political organization, such advocacy in fact began with the Syrian nationalist movement, which emerged from immigration trends at the turn of the last century. Bringing this long-neglected history to life, The Making of Arab Americans overturns the notion of an Arab population that was too diverse to share common goals. Tracing the forgotten histories of the Free Syria Society, the New Syria Party, the Arab National League, and the Institute of Arab American Affairs, the book restores a timely aspect of our understanding of an area (then called Syria) that com...

Kiai Ma’ruf Amin adalah keturunan Syekh Nawawi, seorang ulama besar, karismatik, dan masyhur, serta penulis prolifik-produktif di abad ke-19 yang dikagumi oleh umat Islam dari berbagai Negara. Tetapi bukan hanya dari segi gen atau darah biru saja, keulamaan Kiai Ma’ruf juga karena beliau lama sekali belajar tentang ilmu-ilmu keislaman. Kiai Ma’ruf juga seorang politisi ulung yang sudah lama malang-melintang di dunia politik dan turut memberi kontribusi bagi munculnya gerakan intoleransi agama dan anti-pluralisme serta tumbuhnya kelompok radikal Islam yang suka “mengganyang” kaum minoritas. Kiai Ma’ruf juga yang berada di balik keluarnya fatwa-fatwa haram MUI terhadap sekelompok Islam dan sekte agama, termasuk pengharaman terhadap pluralisme, sekularisme, dan liberalism. Inilah yang membuat saya sering berseberangan dengan beliau.
