When the Syrian regime used sarin and other chemical weapons
against dissidents in August 2013, an estimated 1729 people were
killed including 400 children. President Barack Obama warned that
the use of chemical weapons would constitute a "red line”, but he
refused to take military action. Trump’s approach has been even
more disengaged and lacking in clarity. Frontline Syria highlights
America’s failure to prevent conflict escalation in Syria. Based
on interviews with US officials involved in Syria policy, as well
as UN personnel, the book draws conclusions about America’s role
in world affairs and its potential to prevent deadly conflict. It
also highlights the role of front-line states in Syria and other
countries who engaged in the Syrian conflict to advance their
national interests. Covering key turning points in the Syrian civil
war, including the impact of recent decisions by the Trump
administration, Frontline Syria critically evaluates America’s
global power and provides a diplomatic and military history of the
conflict. Based on this analysis, the book offers policy
recommendations and makes a case for America’s future role
addressing peace and conflict.
