Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A powerful, definitive account of modern Syria and its fateFew countries have had as vexed a political history as Syria. Carved out of the Ottoman empire at the end of the First World War, Syria was then brutally ruled by France. This French mandate carved out new borders with equally provisional… neighbours in a process that pulled apart families, trade networks and political assumptions that had already been ravaged by the war.Syria's subsequent history has been a series of attempts to make sense of its borders, including a failed attempt in the late 1950s to unite with Egypt and several humiliations at the hands of Israel's armed forces. The civil war that broke out in 2011 plunged Syria into a nightmarish series of disasters, including the terrible years of Islamic State, ultimately resulting in the reimposition of Bashar al-Assads dictatorship, which came to an end in 2024.Daniel Neeps remarkable book creates a gripping, intelligent narrative of how Syrians have lived through these events, never losing sight either of the fates of ordinary people or of Syrias rich, complex and diverse society, unwillingly or willingly brought together in such a highly contested space. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
