In this gripping and concise account, Middle East expert James Snell delves deep into the collapse of the al-Assads' dictatorship, tracing their brutal atrocities from 1970 and what it means for the West. Through detailed narratives and eyewitness testimonies, he chronicles the relentless oppression and war crimes that fuelled the opposition's struggle. The fall of Damascus in December 2024 not only marked the end of over 50 years of Assad-family rule but also provided an unexpected development in the international drug trade, terrorism, Russia's strategic stronghold in the Mediterranean, highlighting significant geopolitical shifts. James currently writes for the Telegraph and Spectator on Syria.
