Table of ContentsReviews'Droz-Vincent's historically grounded, comparative study of the changing political roles of Arab militaries is both theoretically informed and rich in detail. By correctly placing those militaries at the heart of their respective political systems, he underscores this distinctive feature of Arab politics and its profoundly negative consequences for the Middle East.' Robert Springborg, Professor of National Security Affairs, Naval Postgraduate School 'Military praetorianism has epitomized the Arab world for decades, but it has not been uniform either in content or over time. Droz-Vincent deftly dissects the military phenomenon across three distinct phases of military predominance, culminating in the period since the 2011 uprisings. He focuses mainly on Egypt, Libya, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen, the countries most impacted by the uprisings, but the reader will find that he casts his analytic net more broadly.'
