Today, much of Syria has become a war-zone where foreign journalists find it almost impossible to go. Burning Country explores the reality of life in present-day Syria. Drawn from over fifteen years of work with the people of Syria, it reveals the stories of opposition fighters, exiles lost in an archipelago of refugee camps, and many others. Examining new grassroots revolutionary organisations, the rise of ISIS and Islamism, and the emergence of the worst refugee crisis since World War Two, Burning Country is a vivid account of a modern-day political and humanitarian nightmare. -- from back cover. 607 $aSyria$xHistory$yCivil War, 2011- 607 $aSyria$xPolitics and government 676 $a322.42095691 700 $aYassin-Kassab$b Robin$0741489 702 $aAl-Shami$b Leila 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810186503321 996 $aBurning country$93925325 997 $aUNINA
