The definitive work of literary journalism on the Arab Springtime and its troubled aftermath. In 2011 a wave of revolution disperse through the Middle East as protesters demanded a finish to tyranny, problem, and financial decay. From Egypt to Yemen, a technology of young Arabs insisted on a fresh ethos of common citizenship. Five years later their utopian dreams have taken on the darker solid as old divides reemerge and deepen. In one country after another, brutal terrorists and dictators have increased to the top. A Trend for Order is the first work of literary journalism to track the tormented legacy of that which was once called the Arab Springtime. In the design of V. S. Naipaul and Lawrence Wright, the recognized New York Times correspondent Robert F. Well worth brings the history of the present to life through vivid testimonies and portraits. We meet a Libyan rebel who must determine whether to kill the Qaddafi-regime torturer who murdered his sibling; a Yemeni farmer who lives in servitude to a poetry-writing, dungeon-operating chieftain; and an Egyptian doctor who's found between his loyalty to the Muslim Brotherhood and his desires for a fresh tolerant democracy. Combining remarkable storytelling with a genuine research of the Arab world today, A Trend for Order catches the psychic and real civil wars raging throughout the Middle East and points out how the dream of an Arab renaissance gave way to a fresh time of discord. With an intro read by the writer.
