The Blood Between Us Syria After the Fall of Assad

الدماء بيننا: سوريا بعد سقوط الأسد

Not Translated

This unique on the ground account provides the most up to date analysis of events in Syria, where in just eleven blistering days, a rebel offensive ended six decades of Baathist rule and shattered the Assad's grip on Syria. The speed of the collapse stunned observers – yet it was no sudden fall, but the climax of a revolution years in the making, born of repression and resistance.

The liberation brought celebrations and new found freedoms; however the cost has been staggering, the wounds still raw. As Syrians face an uncertain future, urgent questions remain: Will justice and reconciliation prevail, or will division, grievance and foreign interventions reignite the cycle of violence?

Blending analysis, reportage and personal testimony, The Blood Between Us captures a pivotal turning point for Syria and for the wider Middle East. Syrian/British journalist Robin Yassin-Kassab offers an urgent and textured portrait of a nation on the cusp, facing both immense risk and revolutionary promise.
