There are certain moments in history that are so significant that they become Turning Points, moments that put a bookmark in time and cause the events that follow to be measured by a different standard. From assassinations to terrorist attacks, from political revolutions to economic crashes, such times are often fraught with conflict and tension. This series puts each event in its historical context and follows the trajectory of its immediate aftermath and continuing global effects today. A timeline of important events adds further historical context, while "Pointing Out" sidebars present related topics and perspectives.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 46-47) and index.

Life of repression -- Pointing out: social media and revolution -- Pointing out: what's yours is Ben Ali's -- The dominoes fall -- Pointing out: giving voice to the Arab world -- Pointing out: a revolution by any other name -- Uncertain future -- Pointing out: off the air -- Pointing out: apologizing to a dictator -- Worldwide impact -- Pointing out: defecting from the regime -- Pointing out: hostage situation -- Timeline.

A historical account of the Arab Spring, including the events leading up to the string of protests, the people involved, the conditions of political instability, and the lingering aftermath.
