Few could predict that these convulsions, initially hailed in the West as a triumph of democracy, would give way to brutal civil war, the terrors of the Islamic State, and a global refugee crisis. But, as New York Times bestselling author Scott Anderson shows, the seeds of catastrophe had been sown long before. In this gripping account, Anderson examines the myriad complex causes of the region's profound unraveling, tracing the ideological conflicts of the present to their origins in the United States invasion of Iraq in 2003 and beyond. From this investigation emerges a rare view into a land in upheaval through the eyes of six individuals--the matriarch of a dissident Egyptian family; a Libyan Air Force cadet with divided loyalties; a Kurdish physician from a prominent warrior clan; a Syrian university student caught in civil war; an Iraqi activist for women's rights; and an Iraqi day laborer-turned-ISIS fighter. A probing and insightful work of reportage, Fractured Lands offers a penetrating portrait of the contemporary Arab world and brings the stunning realities of an unprecedented geopolitical tragedy into crystalline focus. 610 20 $a IS (Organization) 610 27 $a IS (Organization) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01914325 611 27 $a Iraq War (2003-2011) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01802311 651 0 $a Arab countries $v Biography. 651 0 $a Arab countries $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Arab countries $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011 $x Influence. 651 0 $a Arab countries $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Refugees $z Arab countries. 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Refugees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092797 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Arab countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240128 651 7 $a Iraq. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205757 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 4 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20221104010605.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006105830.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20170902010755.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170706035511.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3EB7FE18475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
