Bol A gripping social and political chronicle of Syria before and after revolution, as the global shockwaves continue rippling. A gripping social and political chronicle of Syria before and after revolution, as the global shockwaves continue rippling. For decades, Syrians longed for an ordinary life. When Bashar Assad was unexpectedly toppled in December 2024, they celebrated the fall of a dynastic dictatorship. But as they strive for post-Assad justice, they must grapple with the legacy of a freedom fight begun many years before. When Hafez Assad's violent rule ended in 2000, many believed his son heralded change; but Bashar betrayed those hopes. When Syrians finally rose up in 2011, they were mercilessly crushed by his regime--backed by Russia and Iran--and abandoned by the Western powers claiming to support them. Now, with a new power in Damascus, can the people forge the new Syria they've dreamed of for a quarter-century? Rime Allaf, Damascene herself, narrates a struggle for dignity that has shaken the world. With expert analysis, poignant storytelling and a deep personal connection with the region, she paints an intimate portrait of a devastated society, and of a resilient people determined to find peace. Combines expert analysis, expressive storytelling and the author’s personal connection with the region to paint an intimate picture of a devastated society. Learn about the largest refugee crisis since WWII, sparking an international immigration issue. Author was born in Damascus and has written and spoken about Syria and the Middle East for more than 20 years.
