World War in Syria answers questions that will have continued relevance beyond the country’s borders for years to come. What were the West’s motives for pursuing the Syrian state’s overthrow? How will precedents set in the conflict impact international norms with global reverberations? Why has Syria been vulnerable to instigation of insurgency, to information warfare and later to economic sanctions in a way that other Western adversaries are not? How has the conflict reflected the way warfare has evolved over recent decades, and under what conditions is it likely to conclude in the coming ten years?

“Impressive in its scholarship, pondered in its judgements, above all searing in its dissection of Western powers’ war on Syria waged over many decades, the book is a must-have on the bookshelves of any serious fair-minded student of Syria.”  PETER FORD, British Ambassador to Syria from 2003 to 2006.

” … provides a superb narrative dealing with tactical, operational and strategic matters of that war, in as fine military history writing as any by the first rate military historian, and also shows a horrendous toll this war exerted on the people of Syria. It is a superb book which makes a great contribution to the field of study of the Middle East and of global politics and balance of forces.” ANDREI MARTYANOV, frequent contributor to the U.S. Naval Institute Blog and author of The (Real) Revolution in Military Affairs
