Walid Phares - The Lost Spring: U.S. Policy in the Middle East and the Catastrophes to Avoid ♦
While Phares, a Middle East expert and advisor to members of Congress and the European Parliament, foresaw the Arab Spring, the United States did not. Nor were U.S. policy makers prepared for the region’s subsequent unrest and civil wars. Phares, currently a visiting fellow at the European Foundation for Democracy, argues that America needs a fresh strategy for counterterrorism efforts. (Palgrave Macmillan)
