The catastrophic story of how the Arab world has descended into chaos since the 2003 United States invasion of Iraq as told by the National Book Critics Circle Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Lawrence in Arabia, a probing and insightful work of reportage.
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.
Scott Anderson is a veteran war correspondent who has reported from Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Northern Ireland, Chechnya, Sudan, Bosnia, El Salvador and many other strife-torn countries. A frequent contributor to the New York Times Magazine, his work has also appeared in Vanity Fair, Esquire, Harper's and Outside. He is the author of novels Moonlight Hotel and Triage and of non-fiction books Lawrence in Arabia, The Man Who Tried to Save the World and The 4 O'Clock Murders, and co-author of War Zones and Inside The League with his brother Jon Lee Anderson.

評分放下《My Promised Land》,拿起這部書剛剛好。早上在地鐵裏開始翻,這會兒看到大鵬的譯作樣本。巧閤! 對中東局勢,從六位代錶人物的經曆中,管中窺豹,可見一斑。無論是留下的、齣逃的、偷渡的、還是坐牢的、繼續戰鬥的,他們的命運又有誰是自己能真正把控的! 政局動蕩,地區不穩定因素錯綜復雜,再加上ISIS的恐怖活動……中東局勢,始終是剪不斷理還亂。 不能稱之為史書,類似於長篇報道,或采訪紀實。攤開地圖,看著中東地區,想到同樣的星球上不同區域的人們過著完全不一樣的生活,由衷地感激我們所享的和平!????????

作为《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》的著名作者,斯科特•安德森(Scott Anderson)的《破碎大地》反映了作者对中东乱局的深刻认识,以及对中东问题的深入思考。通过对4个国家和6个人的实地采访,作者在讲述伊拉克战争、“阿拉伯之春”、“伊斯兰国”和叙利亚内战的过程中,试图探讨中东...
評分2011年,一系列反对政府的浪潮震撼了中东和北非,这就是后来所谓的“阿拉伯之春”。西方国家起初赞誉这些动荡是民主的胜利,但当时很少有人预测到,“阿拉伯之春”导致了一系列残酷的内战、“伊斯兰国”的恐怖暴行和全球难民危机。本书内容即是在这样的历史背景下展开,通过六...
