by Tim Anderson.
Axis of Resistance: Towards an Independent Middle East examines the end of the war on Syria and the wider elements of the regional conflict, in particular the character of the Resistance, the prospects for a democratic Palestine, and the role of Iran.
It draws attention to the broad leitmotifs underpinning each particular history that are key to understanding both the parts and the whole, addressing myths about the wars and the resistance, while attempting a partial and provisional history of the conflicts.
This focus on resistance is crucial to understanding the defeat of great powers.
