In this collection of bold and wide-ranging essays, Fouad Ajami
offers his views on the Middle East, commenting on the state of
affairs in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Egypt and more. He brings into focus
the current struggles of the region through detailed historical
standpoints and a highly personal perspective. The author discusses
such landmark past events as the Algerian civil war, the state of
the Arab world shortly after 9/11, and the pan-Arab awakening that
began in 2011, as well as current events such as the Syrian
rebellion and the repercussions of its brutal response from Bashar
al-Assad. In addition, he sheds new light on some of the
significant players in the Arab world, past and present, from
Naguib Mahfouz, the Nobel laureate of the Arabs, to Ziad Jarrah-the
terrorist who is thought to have been at the controls of the plane
forced down by its heroic passengers in Shanksville, Pennsylvania
on 9/11.
