Review: Insightful - Well written history of the recently toppled Al Assad clan. The research and detail of this book is incredible, coupled with human stories
Review: Informative,accurate and fascinating book - This is THE book to read by anyone interested in knowing the full truth about what’s happening in Syria and how a bloody,manipulative and ruthless dictator managed to destroy his own country, killing over a million innocent civilians and displacing over 10 millions of Syrians. It takes you deep into the psychological characteristics of the psychopath called Bashar Al Assad and his brutal quest to prove that he is not dumb,irrelevant or insignificant only for the reader to come to a conclusion that indeed he is. This is a historically accurate and sad story of a beautiful country turned into a battleground for conflicting agendas and ideologies fuelled by an evil regime which will forever be remembered in history with the likes of Hitler and Stalin. Thank you Sam for a very informative book,as a Syrian I can happily confirm that it’s very accurate as I grew up in Damascus and I have witnessed the events myself. Syrian kids and future generations will learn a lot from your great effort.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth a read
*by M***N on 4 June 2020*

Appears to be meticulously researched with plenty of confirmation references. Plenty of shocking stories even though Assad’s behaviour is well known. How the guy and his family can sleep at night is puzzling. You are also reminded of the duplicity regarding the Western States courting favour with the regime. Nobody emerges from this with any credit whatsoever.
