A Rage for Order: The Middle East in Turmoil, from Tahrir Square to ISIS

"As the Arab Spring raged across the Middle East in 2011, New York Times correspondent Robert Worth was there, documenting the revolutions and the characters who drove them. His finely detailed book introduces us to the ecstatic Egyptian revolutionaries who toppled Hosni Mubarak; a Libyan rebel interrogator weighing whether to take revenge on the Moammar Gadhafi loyalists who killed his brother; and two young Syrian women, as close as sisters, whose bond is shattered by sectarian hatred. The latter half of the book explores the regimes that followed the revolutions, and the rise of the Islamic State. A Rage for Order offers vital lessons to help us understand a region whose conflicts rage on."
