Description
Review
‘A compelling book, this is one of the most comprehensive explorations of the Arab Spring to date with a theoretical underpinning that will interest both general audiences and political scientists.’ – Ruth Margolies Beitler, author of The Path to Mass Rebellion: An Analysis of Two Intifadas and co-author of Women’s Roles in the Middle East and North Africa
‘Beautifully written and highly accessible, this book makes an original contribution to existing literature on the Arab uprisings, offering a sober analysis of different militaries’ responses through interest and restraint. This useful guide to the Arab Spring will benefit policy makers, scholars, students, and general readers.’ – Nelly Lahoud, United States Military Academy
