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.

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.

評分2011年,一係列反對政府的浪潮震撼瞭中東和北非,這就是後來所謂的“阿拉伯之春”。西方國傢起初贊譽這些動蕩是民主的勝利,但當時很少有人預測到,“阿拉伯之春”導緻瞭一係列殘酷的內戰、“伊斯蘭國”的恐怖暴行和全球難民危機。本書內容即是在這樣的曆史背景下展開,通過六...
