Battle for the Red Sea

The Hodeida campaign is a story of military victories that could not be fully realized because of the global opposition to the completion of the Red Sea liberation battle. Today, with the Houthis attacking global shipping on a daily basis, the original wisdom of the Hodeida campaign is recognized by growing numbers of analysts, including many who opposed the operations at the time. The Battle for the Red Sea sets the record straight. Some chapters focus on the battle itself; others focus on the political battles and the struggle to tell the truth in the halls of the United Nations in New York, in Congress and the White House in Washington D.C., and in the global media. One important aspect of the book will be taking a deep and honest look at the humanitarian concerns around the Hodeida campaign, including critical assessment of whether a famine was likely and what the hidden humanitarian costs of inaction have been since 2018.
