Summary of Jean Sasson's Princess

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Saudi–Yemen barrier is a physical wall that has been built between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It is ten feet high, and has been filled with concrete and outfitted with electronic surveillance. The wall has been a point of contention between our two governments, with Yemen claiming it is as ruinous for Yemenis as the Israeli West Bank barrier is for Palestinians.

#2 The current troubles in Yemen did not stem from the usual Sunni-Shia problems, although al-Houthi was a Shia religious leader who became well known in Yemen and Saudi Arabia in 2002, when he chanted a sarkha, or the slogan of the Houthi.

#3 The roots of the Houthi rebellion in Yemen go back to 1986, when a religious sheikh named Salah Ahmed Feletah began a small rebellion inspired by his passion for change. When a civil war broke out in 1994, Feletah and al-Houthi cast their lot with south Yemen. When north Yemen won the war, Feletah and his party lost their power.

#4 Saudi Arabia entered a new and unpleasant period in its history when it had to defend itself against a neighbor with whom it had generally enjoyed close ties since ancient times. The all-Arab military intervention sparked a sense of pride in many Saudis.
