Book Presentation: Rock the Casbah: Rage and Rebellion Across the Islamic World

The United Nations Association of New York and the Institute of International Education invite you to an evening of discussion with Robin Wright, an award-winning international journalist who will be presenting her recently published book, Rock the Casbah: Rage and Rebellion Across the Islamic World.

Wright predicted in 2008 that the Middle East was on the edge of inevitable and epic change. She then spent three years exploring the emerging players and evolving ideas that are today visibly transforming the region. In Rock the Casbah, the former Washington Post correspondent delivers a vivid inside account of both the promise and the peril now emerging in the Middle East. 

 

The book, which won the 2012 Overseas Press Club's Cornelius Ryan Award for the best nonfiction book on international affairs, draws on four decades covering the region. Rock the Casbah is a fresh and hopeful view, at once a timely dispatch from the front lines of change and an invaluable guide to where we go from here.
