Nasser's Gamble: How Intervention in Yemen Caused the Six-Day War and the Decline of Egyptian Power Hardcover - 2012
by Jesse Ferris
From the rear cover
"Nasser's Gamble tells the story of Egypt's intervention in Yemen, a venture that was supposed to last weeks but which dragged on for more than five years before Egyptian troops were finally withdrawn. The point Ferris makes--and he does it exceptionally well--is that the Yemeni episode bears much of the responsibility for the decline of Egyptian power in the 1960s."--Adeed Dawisha, author of Iraq: A Political History from Independence to Occupation
"An engrossing and lively narrative. Ferris has taken advantage of the release of many important Soviet documents and has also made very extensive use of documents from U.S. and British archives, a host of memoirs and other sources in Arabic, and some exceedingly useful items in Hebrew. Nasser's Gamble is a model of how a true international history should be written."--Mark Kramer, Harvard University
