This fast-paced and timely book from Vijay Prashad is the best
critical primer to the Middle East conflicts today, from Syria and
Saudi Arabia to the chaos in Turkey. Mixing thrilling anecdotes
from street-level reporting that give readers a sense of what is at
stake with a bird's-eye view of the geopolitics of the region and
the globe, Prashad guides us through the dramatic changes in
players, politics, and economics in the Middle East over the last
five years. "The Arab Spring was defeated neither in the byways of
Tahrir Square nor in the souk of Aleppo," he explains. "It was
defeated roundly in the palaces of Riyadh and Ankara as well as in
Washington, DC and Paris." The heart of this book explores the
turmoil in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon-countries where ISIS emerged
and is thriving. It is here that the story of the region rests.
What would a post-ISIS Middle East look like? Who will listen to
the grievances of the people? Can there be another future for the
region that is not the return of the security state or the
continuation of monarchies? Placing developments in the Middle East
in the broader context of revolutionary history, The Death of the
Nation tackles these critical questions.
