25 Days to Aden

The Unknown Story of Arabian Elite Forces at War
The dramatic account of the campaign to retake the port of Aden by the combined Gulf States.
25 Days to Aden is the story of how in a week in 2015 the Gulf States pulled together a ten-nation coalition and the biggest military operation they ever launched unilaterally. It is an amazing account of Arab militaries doing what America would not, preventing Iran and its proxies the Houthis from taking a foothold on the Arabian Peninsula.The risks for global security were huge: Iran already overshadowed one of the world's greatest maritime straits, at Hormuz, and now it sought to dominate the southern approaches to the Suez Canal as well. Aden had to hold out against the Houthis. The Gulf States were used to America stepping up at such moments, but the White House was partway through negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran. No help would come from Washington. Instead, for the first time, the Gulf States acted alone.Told by an expert communicator on the region, it is a unique story, providing important context for the later US-Iran conflict and the wider fight for influence in the region.
