破碎大地：21世纪中东的六种人生
(us) Scott Anderson
In 2011, the so-called "Arab Spring" swept across the Middle East and North Africa. Initially hailed in the West as a victory for democracy, few expected it would turn into a brutal civil war, the horrific atrocities of the Islamic State and a global refugee crisis. In this work, the complex causes of the great convulsions in the Middle East and North Africa are vividly presented. This investigation examines this broken and turbulent land by showing the life experiences of six ordinary people living here struggling to survive, tracing the current suffering back to the US military's invasion of Iraq in 2003 and even earlier.
