After the Arab spring: how the Islamists hijacked the Middle East revolts
Bradley, John R.
When popular revolutions erupted in Tunisia and Egypt, Western pundits were quick to hail the stirrings of an Arab Spring. Bradley illustrates how in a region awash with extremist Wahhabi ideology, inter-tribal rivalries and Sunni-Shia divisions, the idea that liberal and progressive trends will prevail is little more than wishful thinking. John R. Bradley is a widely published British foreign correspondent. Fluent in Egyptian Arabic, he is also the author of 'Inside Egyp't, 'Saudi Arabia Exposed', and 'Behind the Veil of Vice'.
