Phillips writes crisply and critically, covering a lot of ground.”—James Barr, Financial Times“Battleground is a lucid, cogently argued and accessible study of a region once again in crisis.” —Justin Marozzi, Sunday Times “An excellent new book. . . . This well-written and thoughtfully structured book provides a broad introduction to the many issues underlying conflict and politics in the Middle East.”—Afshon Ostovar, Englesberg Ideas“Phillips finds the sweet spot of providing both depth and breadth in examining ongoing conflicts in the Middle East as well as in countries and zones experiencing various levels of trauma that could lead to conflict. He masterfully weaves together a multidimensional analysis that students, the general public, and policymakers would do well to read. While doing so, he offers a nuanced understanding of the subject matter and communicates a wealth of information in an accessible manner. I highly recommend it.”—David W. Lesch, author of The Middle East Since the Rise of Islam“Christopher Phillips’ keenly observed and deeply informed analysis of ten different but interrelated conflicts in today’s Middle East illuminates the urgent need to grapple with a vitally important but often misunderstood region in all of its complexity. Both experienced observers of the Middle East and those just trying to get a handle on a region in turmoil will learn from this masterful interpretation of the wars of the last decade.”—Marc Lynch, author of The New Arab Wars: Uprisings and Anarchy in the Middle East
