Less than twenty-four months after the hope-filled Arab uprising,
the popular movement had morphed into a dystopia of resurgent
dictators, failed states, and civil wars. Egypt's epochal
transition to democracy ended in a violent military coup. Yemen and
Libya collapsed into civil war, while Bahrain erupted in smothering
sectarian repression. Syria proved the greatest victim of all,
ripped apart by internationally fueled insurgencies and an
externally supported, bloody-minded regime. Amidst the chaos, a
virulently militant group declared an Islamic State, seizing vast
territories and inspiring terrorism across the globe. What
happened? The New Arab Wars is a profound illumination of the
causes of this nightmare. It details the costs of the poor choices
made by regional actors, delivers a scathing analysis of Western
misreadings of the conflict, and condemns international
interference that has stoked the violence. Informed by commentators
and analysts from the Arab world, Marc Lynch's narrative of a vital
region's collapse is both wildly dramatic and likely to prove
definitive. Most important, he shows that the region's upheavals
have only just begun,and that the hopes of Arab regimes and Western
policy makers to retreat to old habits of authoritarian stability
are doomed to fail.
