CHAPTER FIVE
On the Battlefield in Yemen—and in Egypt
The war in Yemen did not bear the character of an invasion but was meant to help a sister-Arab country. The government of Yemen at the time of the revolution as well as the Arab forces that came to defend this revolution from reactionary-imperialist infiltration stood before a dysfunctional, backward society in which fantastic tales, division and dissent proliferated. For this reason the armed battles were carried out in tandem with …an attempt to instill in the Yemeni an awareness of the backwardness and dysfunction in which he lives.
—From a training manual of the Egyptian armed forces, ca. 1964
