520    "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."--Publisher's website
