In Syria, Worth notes that prior to the Arab Spring it was a country where different groups had traditionally co-existed in peace. The psychological and physical relationships between captors and prisoners are flipped suddenly, and Worth is disturbed at how quickly those who were oppressed eagerly seek to use the same techniques against their captors. In Libya, Worth explores the destabilizing effect of revenge as many people imprisoned and tortured under the rule of Muammar Gaddafi are set free in the wake of his execution and his government’s collapse. When the conservative Muslim Brotherhood threatened to seize power, the revolution crumbled and a secular dictatorship was seen as preferable. But Worth then traces how many of the groups that had been pressed together in hatred of the government found themselves fundamentally divided when the restraint of that government was removed. The revolution in Egypt quickly overwhelmed Mubarak, who was arrested and charged with several crimes. He traces the various groups within Egypt who were dissatisfied with the current state of Egyptian society, beginning with the way disparate groups that had been oppressed and smothered by the repressive regime of Hosni Mubarak gathered at â€›the house of revolution’ in Tahrir Square. Worth begins by examining Egypt, which remains one of the most important Arab nations with 80 million people.

Then he reflects on how the movement fell apart, leading to many of the young rebels he met and spoke with turning on each other and abandoning the revolution they had sparked. He expresses his surprise that Egypt had erupted into revolution, a surprise that gave way to an optimistic sense that perhaps he was witnessing history changing the world in real time. Worth begins with a brief introduction in which he recounts some of his experience covering the Arab Spring in Egypt in 2011. In it, Worth examines the so-called Arab Spring, tracing its origins through its encouraging beginnings through its disappointing end. A Rage for Order is a non-fiction book by Robert F.
