The Fall of the Assads

The first comprehensive book on the subject, authored by an expert who has studied the Syrian civil war for over a decade. This gripping account delves into the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship, tracing the 2011 uprising and Assad's brutal atrocities. Through detailed narratives and eyewitness testimonies, it chronicles the relentless oppression and war crimes that fuelled the opposition's struggle. The fall of Damascus in December 2024 not only marked the end of over 50 years of Assad family rule but also threatened Russia's strategic naval port, highlighting a significant geopolitical shift.
