 \n\nVijay Prashad's recent book, The Death of the Nation and the Future of 
 the Arab Revolution, is a fast-paced and timely book and the best critical 
 primer to the Middle East conflicts today, from Syria and Saudi Arabia to 
 the chaos in Turkey. Mixing thrilling anecdotes from street-level reporting 
 that give readers a sense of what is at stake with a bird's-eye view of the 
 geopolitics of the region and the globe, Prashad guides us through the 
 dramatic changes in players, politics, and economics in the Middle East 
 over the last five years. "The Arab Spring was defeated neither in the 
 byways of Tahrir Square nor in the souk of Aleppo," he explains. "It was 
 defeated roundly in the palaces of Riyadh and Ankara as well as in 
 Washington, DC and Paris."\n \nVijay Prashad is an Indian historian, 
 journalist, commentator and a Marxist intellectual. He is the George and 
 Martha Kellner Chair in South Asian History and Professor of International 
 Studies at Trinity College. In 2013-2014, he was the Edward Said Chair at 
 the American University of Beirut. Prashad is the author of seventeen 
 books. \n\nBorn in India, Prashad studied in the United States and has 
 become a prominent scholar and journalist, taking on what he describes as a 
 Marxist point of view when examining world affairs. As such, Prashad 
 acquired a reputation as a harsh critic of American foreign policy, of 
 Israel and its actions toward the Palestinians, and of Hindu 
 nationalism.\n\nDennis J Bernstein is a widely published journalist and 
 host of the award-winning investigative news report, Flashpoints, 
 syndicated on Pacifica radio.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
