When Syrian President Bashar al-Assad came to power upon his father's death in 2000, many in & outside Syria held high hopes that the popular young doctor would bring long-awaited reform, that he would be a new kind of Middle East leader capable of guiding his country toward genuine democracy. David Lesch was one of those who saw this promise in Assad. A widely respected Middle East scholar & consultant, Lesch came to know the president better than anyone in the West, in part through a remarkable series of meetings with Assad between 2004 & 2009. Yet for Lesch, like millions of others, Assad was destined to disappoint. In this timely book, the author explores Assad's failed leadership, his transformation from bearer of hope to reactionary tyrant, & his regime's violent response to the uprising of his people in the wake of the Arab Spring. Lesch charts Assad's turn toward repression & the inexorable steps toward the violence of 2011 & 2012. The book recounts the causes of the Syrian uprising, the regime's tactics to remain in power, the responses of other nations to the bloodshed, & the determined efforts of regime opponents. In a thoughtful conclusion, the author suggests scenarios that could unfold in Syria's uncertain future. ...

Syria`s descent into civil war has already claimed an estimated 200, 000 lives while more than nine million people have fled their homes.

As the conflict in Syria rages on, Mc Hugo provides a rare & authoritative guide to a complex nation that demands our attention. ...
