Totten's gripping first-person narratives from the war zones, police states, and revolutionary capitals of the Middle East and North Africa paint a vivid picture of peoples and nations at war with themselves, each other, and--sometimes--with the rest of the world. His journeys take him from Libya under the gruesome rule of Muammar Qaddafi to Egypt before, during and after the Arab Spring; from the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights in Syria on the eve of that country's apocalyptic civil war to a camp on the Iran-Iraq border where armed revolutionaries threaten to topple the Islamic Republic regime in Tehran; from the contested streets of conflict-ridden Jerusalem to dusty outposts in the Sahara where a surreal conflict few have even heard of simmers long after it should have expired; and from war-torn Beirut and Baghdad to a lonely town in central Tunisia that seeded a storm of revolution and war that spread for thousands of miles in every direction. 650 0 $a Civil war $z Middle East. 650 0 $a Civil war $z Africa, North. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Africa, North $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Africa, North $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Middle East $x History. 651 0 $a Africa, North $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006091712.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=337C0788C93011E88539171297128E48 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
