The Great Betrayal: The Struggle for Freedom and Democracy in the Middle East
"Blending history with contemporary analysis, Fawaz Gerges traces the origins and development of numerous structural forces and political trends that he blames for 'the wretched social conditions of Arab societies.' He contends that interventions by foreign powers and domestic authoritarian governance are mutually reinforcing trends that have stifled the struggle of ordinary people for human rights and political representation."
