"This is not simply the best book on the Arab spring, it is the best book on the Arab world today. It is also the best book of foreign reporting I have read in a long time. Deeply intelligent and beautifully written." --Fareed Zakaria, CNN
"Read Worth's remarkable new book, A Rage for Order, and weep . . . The book is a beautifully written chronicle, told through the struggles of ordinary people, of shattered hopes, lives, families and societies . . . Worth does not judge. He reveals." --Roger Cohen, The New York Times
