And Then All Hell Broke Loose by Richard Engel
Two Decades in the Middle East
An urgent, eyewitness account blending frontline reporting and personal reflection about the collapse of order across the Middle East after the Arab Spring, chronicling how sectarian violence, state failures and foreign interventions produced the rise of extremist groups and mass suffering. Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting from Iraq, Syria, Egypt and beyond, it combines vivid scenes of combat and displacement with interviews, analysis of geopolitical missteps, and the psychological toll on civilians and journalists. Ultimately it is both a reporter's memoir and a sobering explanation of how a series of policy failures and local grievances turned hopeful uprisings into protracted conflict with global consequences.
