Includes bibliographical references (p. 241-255) and index. Introduction -- The Arab uprisings -- The Arab cold war -- Building toward revolution -- A new hope -- The tidal wave -- The empire strikes back: the counterrevolution -- Intervention and civil war -- America's challenge. Will the Arab world's struggle for change succeed in building open societies, or will authoritarian regimes regain their grip? Lynch follows the struggles from Tunisia and Egypt to Yemen, Syria, and Libya, and to the cautious reforms of the region's monarchies, and reveals how America must adjust to the new realities. |
