Muslim World Book Review: "This important source document describes much which has previously been hard to track down about Arabian and Ottoman history." Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society: "we can at last read about the first Ottoman incursion from the Turks' point of view." "sweeps one along" "This is an admirable book and one whose subject matter is so absorbing it is hard to put down". Cornucopia Magazine: "The level of detail on all aspects of such a terrible and costly campaign makes this an intense description of a key moment in history, which Smith has succeeded in making highly readable. Lighting Over Yemen will make fascinating reading for historians of Yemen, of the Ottoman Empire and of the military".
