The Middle East is one of the world's most volatile regions. In
recent years, from the optimism and then crushing disappointment of
the Arab uprisings through the rise and fall of the Islamic State,
it has presented key international security challenges. With the
resilient jihadi terror threat, large-scale migration due to
warfare and climate change, and fierce competition for control over
oil, it promises to continue to be a powder keg. What ignited this
instability? Away from Chaos is a sweeping political history of
four decades of Middle East conflict and its worldwide
ramifications. Gilles Kepel, called "France's most famous scholar
of Islam" by the New York Times, offers a clear and persuasive
narrative of the long-term causes of tension while seamlessly
incorporating on-the-ground observations and personal experiences
from the people who lived through them. From the Yom Kippur/Ramadan
war of 1973 to the aftermath of the Arab Spring, Away from Chaos
weaves together the various threads that run through Middle East
politics and ties them to their implications on the global stage.
With keen insight stemming from decades of experience in the
region, Kepel puts these chaotic decades in perspective and
illuminates their underlying dynamics. He also considers the
prospects of emerging from this long-lasting turmoil and for the
people of the Middle East and the world to achieve a more stable
future.
