IRAQ The West Shakes Up the Middle East
ISBN: 978-1-63353-438-4
"…the West, led by the US and Sunni states, saw the uprisings in the Arab world as a chance to get rid of regimes with whom they were at odds…but instead the war…may end up doing more damage to Iran's rivals such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the Gulf monarchies."
– Patrick Cockburn, December 2015, The Independent
