The Yemen

When this book was first published in 1958, Arabia was even then one of the least known corners of the globe. The foreigner was strictly forbidden from entering, except those with the Imam's personal consent, and then under close supervision. To Hans Helfritz the only hope of seeing the forbidden area was to make a secret journey.
