In 2011 a wave of revolution spread through the Middle East as protesters demanded an end to tyranny, corruption, and economic decay. From Egypt to Yemen, a generation of young Arabs insisted on a new ethos of common citizenship. Five years later their utopian aspirations have taken on a darker cast as old divides reemerge and deepen. In one country after another, brutal terrorists and dictators have risen to the top.

Captivating storytelling approach to the Arab uprisings and their aftermath
Revisado: 08-22-16
Captures the Arab uprisings and their aftermath in Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Yemen and Algeria via captivating narratives from individuals directly involved in the events. The author still incorporates some analysis and historical context, but primarily allows the listener / reader to experience life in this tumultuous time via the stories and experiences of people in the center of it all. A thoroughly interesting personal approach that was very well executed.

Barely a year after the self-immolation of a young fruit seller in Tunisia, a vast wave of popular protest has convulsed the Middle East, overthrowing long-ruling dictators and transforming the region’s politics almost beyond recognition. But the biggest transformations of what has been labeled as the “Arab Spring” are yet to come. An insider to both American policy and the world of the Arab public, Marc Lynch shows that the fall of particular leaders is but the least of the changes that will emerge from months of unrest.

Good, albeit often repetitive, review of the Arab Uprisings starting from historical context of the Arab Cold War onto a detailed review of uprisings of 2010/2011 in each country. While the author provides good analysis and highlights both the interrelatedness and nuanced differences from country to country as well as the changing conditions over time, the author's role advising the Obama administration provides a sometimes unnecessary focus and bias on decisions from the Bush administration. Whether agreeing with the bias or not, it was more apparent than I had hoped. Still a worthwhile book.
