In just eleven days, Syria’s decades-long dictatorship fell, ending the Assad era. Blending history, reportage, and personal accounts, this book explores the revolution’s roots, its staggering costs, and the uncertain future of a nation on the brink of transformation.
In just eleven blistering days, a rebel offensive shattered one of the world’s most entrenched regimes, ending six decades of Baathist rule and the Assad family’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 freedoms unseen for generations. But the cost was 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 in Syria’s history. Robin Yassin-Kassab offers a textured portrait of a nation on the cusp, facing both immense risk and revolutionary promise.
