Revolution in the Arab World

For those of who have not subscribed to foreignpolicy.com I suggest you as being a subscriber has it perks. Foreign Policy is published by the Slate Group which is a division of the Washington Post. I just have downloaded an eBook for only US$4.95 for a special report done by Foreign Policy called "Revolution in the Arab World".

Edited by Marc Lynch, the co-editor of The Mideast Channel, FP editor in chief Susan Glasser, and managing editor Blake Hounshell, Revolution in the Arab World: Tunisia, Egypt, and the Unmaking of an Era, is an exclusive new ebook that offers an authoritative look at the rapid reordering of the world's most strategic region and the dilemmas it presents for American power.

With contributions from noted writers Issandr El Amrani and Ashraf Khalil to bestselling authors such as Robert Kaplan and leading U.S. policy experts like Aaron David Miller, the six chapter book includes the prescient rumblings of revolution noted by Amrani and other writers in FP over the last year, a dramatic re-telling of the drama in Cairo's Tahrir Square, deeply reported articles on the behind the scenes players who drove the revolutions, and insights on Washington's back-stage drama over how to respond.

Published in real-time and available to readers on their Kindle, iPad, and computers , Revolution in the Arab World uses new technology to tell the story of the uprising that continues to spread throughout the Middle East and North Africa.

Excerpt from Synopsis:

Where did this wave of anger come from? Why did it begin in Tunisia, and what does it mean? FP's special report starts with a revelatory first chapter that shows how the revolutionary rumblings were ignored, dating back to Issandr El Amrani's prescient warning to Barack Obama in January 2010: Egypt, he wrote, could be the ticking time bomb that overwhelms your international agenda. The coverage also includes a dramatic day-by-day retelling of the battle to hold Tahrir Square, insider accounts of Washington's flip-flopping and struggle to keep up with events, and some of the world’s leading authors and experts, from James Traub to Gary Sick to Robert D. Kaplan, on where we go from here.

Consider it a guidebook for these revolutionary times.
