The Syrian war is one of the great humanitarian disasters of our time, with hundreds of thousands of deaths, brutal state-sanctioned attacks on civilians, the rise of the black flag of ISIS, and crimes perpetrated by rebels.听It feels dehumanizing, but it is still about three-dimensional human beings.听
The nuanced, complex details are the subject of听, a new book by听麻豆果冻传媒 Fellow Rania Abouzeid. Underpinned by a rigorous investigation that reveals new information about the arming and Islamization of the uprising,听No Turning Back听provides an indelible new understanding of the morass by telling the stories of several individuals whose lives symbolize the hopes and dreams Syrians have for their embattled homeland.
Based on more than five years of clandestine reporting on the front lines, Abouzeid shows these听disparate lives intersecting in astonishing ways, forming an unforgettable portrait of a shattered country that 鈥渉as ceased to exist as a unified state except in memories and on maps.鈥
Join 麻豆果冻传媒 NYC for the release of听No Turning Back听with a conversation between Rania Abouzeid and PBS Frontline‘s Martin Smith on the stories of loss and hope in an unremitting war.听
