Following the Arab Spring, Syria descended into civil and sectarian conflict. It has since become a fractured warzone which operates as a breeding ground for new terrorist movements including ISIS as well as the root cause of the greatest refugee crisis in modern history. In this important book, former Special Envoy of the Netherlands to Syria, Nikolaos van Dam, explains the recent history of Syria, covering the growing disenchantment with the Asad regime, the chaos of civil war and the fractures which led to an immense amount of destruction in the refined social fabric of what used to be the Syrian nation. Through an in-depth examination, van Dam traces political developments within the Asad regime and the various opposition groups from the Arab Spring to the present day, and provides a deeper insight into the conflict and the possibilities and obstacles for reaching a political solution.

Interesting, well researched, just very repetitive

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 18 avril 2020

Achat vérifié

As somebody with an interest in the Middle East and Arab cultures but little real understanding of the conflict or the minutiae of Syrian society and politics, I have learned quite a bit from this book.

I must say however that it was a tough read at times, purely due to its sheer repetitiveness, names and dates being introduced constantly and jumped between at random... I couldn't keep track of the overall timeline. But I persevered, hoping some details would be beaten into me with enough repetition.

The summaries at the end of chapters are very much appreciated and things make more sense, but it takes effort to get through the wall of text that precedes them.

Don't get me wrong, the war in Syria, the history of the Ba'ath party and Asad regime and the sectarian divisions underlying it all are complex... really complex. So a book on the subject isnt going to be an easy read. Just prepare yourself for that if you aren't used to these sorts of books!

But overall, I learned plenty and the author offers as balanced and unbiased a viewpoint as possible. The war is certainly complex and the country's future seems very bleak. I hope to visit someday, but in the meantime I can just educate myself, and this book is a good start.

Misses the point this book

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 13 avril 2021

Achat vérifié

Incredibly the author Nikolaos Van Dam does not explain once in his book what the Alawis actually believe in. Reading Cyril Glassé's The Concise Encyclopaedia of Islam it is mentioned that the Alawis believe that women do not have souls and that the Milky Way is made up of the deified souls of the true believers. The main religious book of the Alawis is called 'The Book of Collection' and is known only to the few senior members of the sect. They worship the lettuce as it grows due to the light which produces the Milky Way. In other words the Alawi beliefs go against Christian and Muslim teachings in every possible way. No wonder the mainstream Muslims - the Sunnis - think the Alawis are heretics and apostates. Asad is a tyrant who will never listen to the democrats.

But to Mr Van Dam - being Dutch - religion of any sort is probably anathema to him. One sect is as bad as the next.

Fact is Islam as God intended it has ceased to exist in the governments of the Middle East. All the so-called rulers in the Middle East care about is power. In Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Yemen the rulers want to rule for life and then pass on power to their sons. The concept of 'shura' or Islamic democracy is not part of their makeup. There is no hope. The Middle East is doomed. Russia rules Syria now. Poison. Another 100 years of the same.

Good but Flawed

The author does a good job explaining the internal situation in Syria but completely fail to explain clearly the involvement of all the foreign actors. As the author indicated in his book, this war is, since a long time, a proxy war with the involvement of many other countries. You can not explain the Syrian war to the reader if you do not explain clearly what the foreign actors are doing and what are their motivations. The author looks at this very superficially and reach no clear conclusions. The level of destruction and violence and the length of this war can only be explained by the presence and the actions of so many foreign actors who have no interest in seeing this war end (mainly the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel). I do not understand how a person can write a book on the Syrian war without explaining all of this in detail. The author does not even mention Israel’s actions and objectives once in his book! How can you write a book on the Syrian war and not mention Israel strategy once?? I would not recommend this book to people who really want to understand what is going on in Syria.

And the author misses so many important things. He writes a chapter on the "ambivalent western approach to the Syrian conflict". His job should be to explain to its readers what is really going on as the western approach is totally confusing to say the least. He should explain that when the US and its western allies say they are intervening for the sake of democracy it is not true. They want to destroy Assad and have no problem using radical sunni islamist and terrorist to do the job. They want regime change. He explains on page 98 that each foreign actor acted more or less independently. Does he really think that there is no cooperation and coordination in Syria between the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel? Then on the next page he says that meetings of the FSA were attended by the US, Saudi Arabia, UAE, GB and France. That is not acting independently. It is obvious there is coordination. The priority of the US and its allies are clear. It is not democracy, peace or especially the Syrian people. It is regime change and if it means complete destruction of the country so be it. They are also trying (publicly) to partition the country against the will of the Syrian people to make the state permanently weak.

Nikolaos Van Dam consegue descrever de forma clara e sucinta a complexa tragédia do que se abateu sobre a Síria e por que os acontecimentos da história dessa nação se tornou um fato tão relevante para os quatro pontos do mundo. O livro é um verdadeiro guia sobre um assunto.
