Today Syria is a country known for all the wrong reasons: civil
war, vicious sectarianism, and major humanitarian crisis. But how
did this once rich, multi-cultural society end up as the site of
one of the twenty-first century's most devastating and brutal
conflicts? In this incisive book, internationally renowned Syria
expert David Lesch takes the reader on an illuminating journey
through the last hundred years of Syrian history - from the end of
the Ottoman empire through to the current civil war. The Syria he
reveals is a fractured mosaic, whose identity (or lack thereof) has
played a crucial part in its trajectory over the past century. Only
once the complexities and challenges of Syria's history are
understood can this pivotal country in the Middle East begin to
rebuild and heal.
