Description
""A History of Arabia Felix or Yemen: From the Commencement of the Christian Era to the Present Time, Including an Account of the British Settlement of Aden"" is a comprehensive historical account of the Arabian Peninsula's southern region, known as Yemen or Arabia Felix. The book covers the period from the beginning of the Christian era to the mid-19th century, with a focus on the region's political, social, and economic developments. The author, Robert Lambert Playfair, was a British colonial administrator and historian who spent several years in Yemen during the mid-19th century. He draws on his personal experiences and extensive research to provide a detailed account of Yemen's history, including its early kingdoms, the rise of Islam, and the region's interactions with neighboring empires such as the Romans, Persians, and Ottomans. The book also covers the British settlement of Aden, a strategic port city that became an important hub for trade and military operations in the region. Playfair describes the challenges faced by the British in establishing and maintaining their presence in Yemen, including conflicts with local tribes and the Ottoman Empire. Overall, ""A History of Arabia Felix or Yemen"" provides a valuable resource for scholars and students of Middle Eastern history, as well as anyone interested in the region's rich cultural heritage and complex geopolitical dynamics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
