In 2011 the Arab revolts changed the Middle East forever. The toppling of a generation of dictators left the region in turmoil. Has the promise of the Arab Spring been lost? What does the rise of religious extremism on Europe’s doorstep mean for the West and its allies? Is America giving up on the region and, if so, who will lead the new Middle East?

Drawing on compelling first-hand reporting, a deep knowledge of the region’s history and access to many of the key players, BBC Bureau Chief Paul Danahar lays bare the forces that are shaping the region. Now completely revised and updated to include everything that has happened in the region since the book was first published.
