### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "And now you know...."
*by M***Y on February 14, 2016*

Speaking as one who has "been there, done that," hopefully I can provide some extensively observed enlightenment. Syria and the Assad dynasty, for all their faults, has protected the lives and faith of thousands of Christians in the country. Christian religious sites across the country, many dating back 2000 years have been protected. The Cross is displayed on churches and Christian ministers and missionaries preach without imposition or limitation from the government. Insurrection and revolutionary movements have been attempted over the years, and as you would if someone were to take your home away from you, steps were taken and presently are being taken, to suppress the efforts. Should the present revolutionary forces take over the country there will be civil war for years while the various tribes, ethnic and religious combatants vie for control of the government and banking system. The Assad government may not be the ultimate, democratic and sublimely peaceful ruling party that suits your "from afar" position. The takeover by revolutionary forces will result in a blood bath, destruction of churches and the death of thousands of peaceful Christians. Is that your choice? You know of the destruction and havoc to the religious sites and lives of those living in Afghanistan, parts of Syria and Iraq. Certainly, that is not the fate we wish on Syria.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must read for those interested in understanding Syria
*by M***. on May 16, 2014*

Excellent book on Syrian history. This book helps to explain the historical foundation behind the crisis in Syria today. Patrick Seale was one of the best Syrian historians; his death is a great loss. A must read for anyone interested in Syria.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy Reading!
*by S***I on November 11, 2009*

must say, it changes my prospective about many historical events in the area! Its a good book to start your own debate about the period during Asad's life. It gives you a insight about the man's human side and struggles to control his destiny...I loved the book...
