The Syria expert offers a firsthand account of U.S. relations with Syria during the Bush administration in this timely and objective memoir. A journalist and fluent Arabist, the author resided in Damascus from 2001 to 2008, where he cofounded--with the support and encouragement of Asma al-Assad, the wife of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad--Syria Today, a quarterly magazine on Syrian affairs. He provides a rare glimpse into the machinations of one of the world's most baffling political systems. His behind-the-scenes experiences as well as the story of Syria itself post-9/11 and Washington's attempts to craft a "New Middle East." are exposed.
