Syria: How did we get here? (lemmygrad.ml)

Hello again! I've been doing some reading on the countries of West Asia, slowly going over each of their individual histories as well as just trying to understand this region in general since I haven't really gone into it too much before. I've finished up on Iraq and Afghanistan (Blowback pod is great for that) As well as some focus on Iran after recent events. However I'm struggiling to find good resources on Syria that isn't just liberal throat gurgiling. Do you guys have any book reccomendations or pointers? I enjoyed reading the replies on my last post on Ukraine and the replies were all so well done I thought I'd ask again but for Syria. Thanks :)

I’ve been reading a bit of “The Fate of Third Worldism in the Middle East” and although it focuses on Iran and Palestine, they talk about Syria plenty. If you want pics of the book, PM/DM me

Sure sounds great! I'm not so sure how to DM you though.. how do I go about doing that?

No prob, just click my pfp or username and just hit “send message” and I can take a video of leafing thru the book so u can pause and read each page. If there’s an easier way to do it pls let me know. I’m not very tech-savvy at all and it’s a very interesting book, I bought it at a leftist book store in San Fran on vacation and loved the book, but unfortunately never got around to finishing it. Learned a lot tho
