War can be woven into the social fabric of a country. Threats to the national identity of Yemen were not born yesterday, nor was it born when the war began in 2015. This is a story whose depths go all the way back to the middle of the 20th century and the diverse sectarian and regional actors within Yemen at that time.Efforts made to uncover the motives of this conflict's development and motivations included exclusive interviews with the representatives of all Yemeni active parties. By approaching each perspective, this book develops an approach to see where the real roots of the conflict lie, and to explore the possibility that a common ground could be found to restore peace and stability to Yemen.
