A Journey Through Turbulence is a collection of Deepak Tripathi's
writings in the last decade, covering a vast landscape and many
subjects, from the United States, Britain and the European Union to
conflicts in South Asia and the Middle East, the Arab Awakening,
the power shift from west to east, and the new great game in the
east. Displaying a keen knowledge of the landscape, these essays
have an insightful analysis of the present in the context of the
past. Dr. Deepak Tripathi, fellow of the Royal Historical Society,
is a British historian of the Middle East and South Asia with a
particular emphasis on the Cold War and the United States in the
post-Soviet world. He is an honorary research fellow in social
sciences at the University of Roehampton in London. Among his books
is a trilogy including Breeding Ground: Afghanistan and the Origins
of Islamist Terrorism (2011), Overcoming the Bush Legacy in Iraq
and Afghanistan (2010), and Imperial Designs: War, Humiliation and
the Making of History (2013), published by Potomac Books, Inc.,
Washington, D.C. In his long career as a journalist before the
September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, Deepak Tripathi
lived and worked in the United States and Britain, and reported
from Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and India. Turning to
his current research interest in great power rivalries and
conflicts in the Middle East and South Asia, he has since published
several books, and more than a hundred and fifty articles. His
columns have appeared in numerous journals and periodicals,
including CounterPunch, History News Network of George Mason
University, Al-Ahram Weekly, Al Jazeera English, Palestine
Chronicle, Mondoweiss, and the Nation of Pakistan. "Tripathi writes
with a degree of bite on the important issues of our times,
covering the end of the Bush era to the start of Barack Obama's
second term. These essays provide a searing commentary of U.S.
foreign policy, and its failings from Iraq to Libya." - Dr. Binoy
Kampmark, RMIT University, Melbourne, and formerly Commonwealth
Scholar, Selwyn College, Cambridge University
