内容説明 For the very first time， ?The War That Never Was? tells the fascinating story of a secret war fought by British mercenaries in the Yemen in the early 1960s. In a covert operation organised over whisky and sodas in the clubs of Chelsea and Mayfair， a group of former SAS officers - led by the irrepressible Colonel Jim Johnson - arranged for a squadron of British mercenaries to travel to the remote mountain regions of the Yemen， to arm， train and lead Yemeni tribesmen in their fight against a 60，000-strong contingent of Egyptian soldiers. It was one of the most uneven running battles ever waged; the Egyptians fielded a huge， professionally-trained army. The British fought back at the head of a ragtag force of tribal warriors and， ultimately， won. Egypt’s President Nasser described the battle in the Yemen as ’my Vietnam’. It’s a fascinating， forgotten， and rip-roaringly entertaining pocket of British military history， much in the spirit of Ben MvIntyre’s bestselling ?Agent Zigzag? and ?Operation Mincemeat?.
