Damascus, first published in 2005, was the first account in English
of the history of the city, bringing out the crucial role it has
played at many points in the region's past. It traces the story of
this colourful, significant and complex city through its physical
development, from the its emergence in around 7000 BC through the
changing cavalcade of Aramaean, Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine,
Arab, Turkish and French rulers to independence in 1946. This new
edition has been thoroughly updated using recent scholarship and
includes an additional chapter placing the events of the Syrian
post-2011 conflict in the context of the city's tumultuous
experiences over the last century. This volume is a must-read for
anyone interested in the sweep of Syrian history and archaeology,
and is an ideal partner to Burns' Aleppo (2016). Lavishly
illustrated, Damascus: A History remains a unique and compelling
exploration of this fascinating city.
