Quercus is to publish a book on the Arab Spring on 4th August.
Susan Watt bought UK and Commonwealth rights from agent Natasha Fairweather at A P Watt in Karama! Travels in an Arab Spring by journalist Johnny West, an Arabic speaker who was based in North Africa for some years.
The publisher said "now, in the immediate aftermath of the uprising, he returned to these countries which he knows so well" with West talking to protestors and ordinary people in cafes, streets, offices and shops, "far from the media glare", to get the sense of how and why the Arab Spring happened.
