Memoirs of a former activist, Ambass, For. Minister & Prime Minister of Yemen

The book entalis the 50 year memoirs of Mr. Mohsin Al-Ainy, one of Yemen's leading politicians, who was very active in the pre-revolutionary era against the despotic monarchy and who actively participated in the post revolutionary period (1962 onwards) becoming Prime Minister on two occasions. Very interesting insight into the metamorphosis of "revolutionary regimes" in Third World countries, with good details on conversations between major players in the Middle East regional scene, including many of the Arab leaders (President Nasser of Egypt, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia and others). Gives important highlights of events in the region during the last half of the Twentieth Century.
