Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Reprint. Hardback. Dust Jacket. 8vo. pp ii, 356. Original publisher's black cloth, lettered gilt on spine. Excessively rare manual on the tribal structures in the very area where the region's biggest ongoing armed conflict started in 2011. Compiled initially in 1886, the text was brought up to date in 1907 by Captain A. E. Mosse. The authors provide a chronological breakdown of the events, relationships and hostilities of each of the 16 tribes in the Aden area. In addition, the work discusses the nature of each tribe (i.e. "a proud, warlike and independent race"), their income and their organisation, with notes on sub-tribes and their reigning families. The appendix includes copies of the treaties and agreements signed between local tribes and the British, many of which led to the establishment of the British Protectorate. Facsimile reprint of the excessively rare 1909 edition. ISBN: 1850770972 Fine in fine dust jacket.
