The Arab Uprisings: the People Want the Fall Of The Regime: Jeremy Bowen

Jeremy Bowen was the BBC's Middle East correspondent for twelve years and was on the ground for them as the revolutions swept through the region. Realising this as a game-changing moment in the history of the Middle East,  he captures the thoughts and feelings of the people involved as the events unfolded, putting these revolutions in their political context, and using them as a prism through which to understand the broader history and landscape of the Middle East. He looks at the world the demonstrators rejected and its Arab dictators. The author examined brutal police states, tribal loyalty and foreign help. The West's response and Israel's too, will form part of the narrative.
