This work is an in-depth study of Syrian politics and foreign
relations between 1949 and 1961. Previously unstudied aspects of
Syrian covert intervention in the 1958 Lebanese Civil War and of a
Syrian-Jordanian "dirty war" are also included.Covert action and
terrorism have played major roles in the policies of the Middle
East. It is impossible to comprehend the intricacies of regional
politics without an understanding of the covert machinations that
lie beneath the surface. This work is an in-depth study of Syrian
politics and foreign relations between 1949 and 1961. Topics
covered include the role of foreign governments in manipulating
Syria's numerous military coups; the covert struggle to remove Adib
al-Shishakli, the conflicts in the late 1950s between Syrian
politicians and officers, the consolidation of power in Syria by
chief Abd al-Hamid Sarraj and his covert battles with Lebanon,
Jordan and Iraq from 1957 onwards. Previously unstudied aspects of
Syrian covert intervention in the 1958 Lebanese Civil War and of a
Syrian-Jordanian "dirty war" are also included. Throughout the
book, particular attention is paid to the role of the Syrian Social
Nationalist Party.
