Marc Lynch's last book, The Arab Uprising, described the then
ongoing revolutionary change and prospect for the consolidation of
democracy in key Arab countries that still seemed possible. But
Lynch saw dark signs on the horizon, especially in Syria. That book
ended with the hope that the Arab uprisings heralded a fundamental
change over the long-term, but with the warning that Arab regimes
would not easily give up their power. Instead, Egypt's revolution
has given way to a military coup; Libya's produced a failed state;
Yemen is the battleground for a proxy war and will be destroyed;
Syria has become a sprawling humanitarian catastrophe that will
take a generation to begin to recover from. At the same time,
America has less and less reason to want to engage with the region
and now has only one functional ally apart from Israel. The New
Arab Wars describes how the political landscape of an entire region
has been convulsed, with much of it given over to anarchy, as proxy
wars on behalf of three competing powers - Iran, Turkey and Saudi
Arabia - scar the region. It is a brutal, compelling story.
