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.
