- How One Family's Lust for Power Destroyed Syria
Af: Sam Dagher Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser
In spring 2011, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad turned to his friend and army commander, Manaf Tlass, for advice about how to respond to Arab Spring-inspired protests. Tlass pushed for conciliation but Assad decided to crush the uprising -an act which would catapult the country into an eight-year long war, killing almost half a million and fueling terrorism and a global refugee crisis.ASSAD OR WE BURN THE COUNTRY examines Syria''s tragedy through the generational saga of the Assad and Tlass families, once deeply intertwined and now estranged in Bashar''s bloody quest to preserve his father''s inheritance. Drawing on exclusive interviews with Tlass, now a defector from Assad''s circle, and Dagher''s own firsthand experience as a reporter based in Damascus, ASSAD OR WE BURN THE COUNTRY takes readers within the palace walls to reveal the family behind the destruction of a country and the chaos of an entire region.Dagher shows how one of the world''s most vicious police states came to be and explains how a regional conflict extended globally, engulfing the Middle East and pitting the United States and Russia against one another. Timely, propulsive, and expertly reported, ASSAD OR WE BURN THE COUNTRY is the definitive account of this global crisis, going far beyond the news story that has dominated headlines for years.
