Syria has often lacked sympathetic observers. This book tries to
interpret the country and its people in terms of how they see their
own history and of what they are trying to achieve. More than a
political or diplomatic history, it discusses the economy, society,
education and culture to help the reader understand and explain
modern Syria. A description of the country deals with the physical
and other factors which have influenced Syria's development. An
historical survey concentrates mainly on the period after the
Second World War and explains why a knowledge of Syrian history is
important and why Syrians look at their history in the way they do.
The achievements, problems and failures of President Asad are fully
discussed. Further chapters explain the ideological factors which
have been of vital importance in Syrian politics, the development
of education, the economy and society. The author looks at examples
of contemporary Syrian literature and the way in which writers view
the problems of their society and culture. This is a clear,
succinct and readable account of modern Syria which will be
essential for all those studying the Middle East, the developing
world or international relations.
