Aprašymas

In the midst of turmoil in the Middle East, and in the face of protests and demonstrations from Homs to Damascus and other places all over Syria, the BaOCyth Party and Bashar al-Asad are truly caught up in a struggle to hold onto power in Syria. In this important book, Nikolaos van Dam explores and explains how the Asad dynasty has come to rule Syria for about half a century and keep the complex patchwork of minorities, factions and opponents securely under control for such an unprecedented long period. Through an in-depth examination of the role of sectarian, regional and tribal loyalties, van Dam traces developments within the BaOCyth party and the military and civilian power elite from the 1963 BaOCythist takeover up to the present day._x000D__x000D_OCy[A] monumental work on Syrian power politicsOCO _x000D_Robert Fisk, The Independent_x000D__x000D_OCyAn excellent bookOCO_x000D_Patrick Seale_x000D__x000D_OCyAn admirable studyOC invaluable for anyone with a serious interest in Middle Eastern politicsOCO_x000D_Peter Mansfield
