THE NEW LION OF DAMASCUS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
David Lesch's access to the President of Syria is critical for this little understood country. This is a fine account and a must read for those who need to know more about this strategic country in the Middle East.

I met Syrians of all walks of life when I visited the country earlier this year, and while I learned something from all of them I was especially appreciative of the few who were brave enough to give me a candid assessment of the regime there. This book fits with what I saw and heard, and has filled in many of the blanks in my understanding of the country. If you really want to understand Syria I suggest you get on a plane and go there. If you can't do that this book is a good second choice.
