"In 1979, Steven C. Caton went to a remote area of Yemen to do fieldwork on the famous oral poetry of its tribes. At that time, the hostage crisis at the American Embassy in Tehran made life perilous for a young American graduate student alone in a distant corner of the Middle East; worse, Caton was soon embroiled in a dangerous local conflict. Yemen Chronicle is his candid account - based on field notes, diaries, letters, and memories - of the extraordinary events that ensued."--BOOK JACKET.
