Chronicle of a War in the East (Autumn 2001) followed by Brief Chronicle of Israel and Palestine (April-May 2001) is a profound analysis of the situation in the Middle East after the September 11 attacks. Gilles Kepel, a political scientist and Arabist, offers us an expert vision of the Arab world, exploring the tensions and conflicts that marked the region at the beginning of the 21st century. Through his chronicles, the author invites us to reflect on the political decline of Islamism and the complexity of relations between East and West.
