"Syria and the Syrians" is a contribution to the attempt to
understand the present through the lens of the past. It is an epic
chronicle of a people and a land that has seen it all and knows it
all, as told and retold by scholars of different backgrounds and
disparate eras. While this chronicle displays implicit notions of
heroism and a nostalgic glorification of a bygone era, it is about
real history, a real people, and a real land. The history is
life-like. It provides entry into the "mind" of great ages, a
return to an aesthetic world, and an introduction to the actions
and ideas that helped shape our thinking for generations on end. It
is a breathtaking blend of triumph, adventure, failure, and
survival. It is also a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and
contributions of a nation and a tribute to the important, perilous,
and often-overlooked work of its people.
