For the last six years, we have been confronted with images of colossal human suffering and a moral dilemma that remains unresolved, with no end in sight. Yassin al-Haj Saleh, the intellectual voice of the Syrian revolution, describes with precision and fervour the events that led to the uprising of 2011, the metamorphosis of the popular revolution into a regional war, and the "three monsters" Saleh sees "treading on Syria's corpse": the Assad regime and its allies, ISIS and other jihadists, and the West. Where conventional wisdom has it that Assad's army is now battling religious fanatics for control of the country, Saleh argues that the emancipatory, democratic mass movement that ignited the revolution still exists, though it is beset on all sides. A leftist dissident who spent sixteen years as a political prisoner and now lives in exile, Saleh offers powerful and compelling critiques of the impact of the revolution and war on Syrian governance, identity and society. 611 27 $a Civil War (Syria : 2011-) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907471 648 7 $a Since 2000 $2 fast 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 $a Syria $x History $y Civil War, 2011- 651 0 $a Syria $x Politics and government $y 2000- 651 7 $a Syria $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208757 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Yassin-Kassab, Robin, $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20180118010034.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A596A36FC1D11E7842A9F4C97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
