520    In 2011, a series of anti-government uprisings shook the 
       Middle East and North Africa in what would become known as
       the Arab Spring. 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.
