The book begins by discussing the origins of the Aden Protectorate Levies, which were formed in 1927 as a response to the growing instability in the region. The author explains how the Levies were initially composed of local tribesmen who were recruited to serve as a police force for the protectorate. Over time, the Levies evolved into a professional military force, with training and equipment provided by the British colonial authorities. The book examines the challenges faced by the Levies, including the difficulty of operating in a diverse and often hostile environment, and the need to balance the interests of the colonial powers with the needs of the local population.
