- Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is Robert Worth's "A Rage for Order: The Middle East in Turmoil from Tahrir Square to ISIS." This is not simply the best book on the Arab spring, it is the best book on the Arab world today. It is also the best book of foreign reporting I have read in a long time. Deeply intelligent and beautifully written. We'll have him on the show soon, but don't wait for that, go out and get the book.”
