Samer Abboud’s Syria is an indispensable reference on the uprising
and brutal conflict that have raged in Syria since 2011. Abboud is
masterful in providing an account that is at once accessible,
balanced and analytically sophisticated. He explains clearly how a
wartime order took hold in Syria after 2011, who its key actors
are, their roles in the conflict, and how the likely imposition of
an ‘authoritarian peace’ under the Assad regime is unlikely to
deliver either stability or security to a country ravaged by
violence.”

“This second edition of Abboud’s small classic carries his valuable
analysis forward. Bringing together the phases and dimensions of
the Syrian conflict in a uniquely convincing and comprehensive way,
Abboud explores how the failure of diplomacy left a stalemate, and
how the stalemate was broken by Russian intervention, and yet today
the conflict remains frozen but not resolved.”
