'A superb, timely and much needed book about the Syrian uprising. Moving between international politics, regional strategies, and local struggles, Daher provides a powerful and sobering account of what has happened in Syria since 2011. This is a penetrating analysis of a tragic yet inspiring revolt' -- Yasser Munif, Emerson College 'Way beyond superficial and partial accounts of the Syrian uprising and civil war, Joseph Daher explores here comprehensively and in depth their roots, dynamics and tragic outcome, without giving up his hope of democratic and social change in his martyred country' -- Gilbert Achcar, author of 'The People Want: A Radical Exploration of the Arab Uprising'

Joseph Daher teaches at Lausanne University, Switzerland. He is the author of Syria after the Uprisings (Pluto, 2019) and Hezbollah: The Political Economy of the Party of God (Pluto, 2016). He is the co-editor of Penser l'emancipation (La Dispute, 2013) and founder of the blog Syria Freedom Forever.
