This week The Last Refuge: Yemen, al-Qaeda and the Battle for Arabia was released in the UK.

For those wanting to get a sense of the book, I urge you to watch this short (1:41) book trailer, which you can view here.

And for those in the US and Australia who haven’t yet had a chance to purchase the book and are still on the fence, please take a look at the trailer and see if you pushes you over the edge and into a purchase. 

Despite the subject matter I promise you it is a pretty quick read – although i guess if you are reading Waq al-waq you are already interested in the subject.  I do hope you check it out.
