  • More about In A Time Of Monsters: Travels Through a Middle East in Revolt

In A Time of Monsters, Emma Sky witnesses the Arab Spring, the rise of the Islamic State, the refugee crisis, and the consequences of Western interventions in the Middle East, including the British vote to leave the EU and the election of Donald Trump.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 320 pages
Publication date: 06 February 2020
Publisher: Atlantic Books


Returning to the UK in September 2010 after serving in Iraq as the political adviser to the top American general, Emma Sky felt no sense of homecoming. She soon found herself back in the Middle East, traveling through a region in revolt.

In A Time of Monsters, Emma Sky bears witness to the demands of young people for dignity and justice during the Arab Spring; the inability of sclerotic regimes to reform; the descent of Syria into civil war; the rise of the Islamic State; and the flight of refugees to Europe. With deep empathy for its people and an extensive understanding of the Middle East, Sky makes a complex region more comprehensible.

A great storyteller and observational writer, Sky also reveals the ties that bind the Middle East to the West and how blowback from our interventions in the region contributed to the British vote to leave the European Union and to the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States.
