“A breath of fresh air… relentless and unapologetic.” —The New York Post
Acclaimed Middle East expert Barry Rubin investigates Syria: its support of the Iraq insurgency, ferocious political repression and mix of competing religious and ethnic groups. American policymakers have been wrestling with the Syria question for years, but it has gained particular urgency in light of the country’s growing tension and complex position of power in the Middle East. The Truth About Syria looks at how the country has become the powderkeg of the Middle East and offers an insightful analysis of recent developments.
Barry Rubin is the author of The Long war for Freedom, Yasir Arafat, The Tragedy of the Middle East, and Hating America. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Foreign Affairs, and many other publications. He has been a Council on Foreign Relations Fellow and is the editor of the Middle East Review of International Affairs. He lives in Tel Aviv, Israel and Washington DC, USA.
