- Book Synopsis
- Today Syria is in desperate turmoil - an unfathomable tragedy for anyone who has followed the aspirations and dreams of a highly civilised and educated people over the past century. Written by a distinguished British-Syrian diplomat and journalist who has experience of life in the inside of the the Assad regimes, balanced by a cosmopolitan London-based perspective on the region's general history, this book delivers a rare understanding of Syria's turbulent history and the position she finds herself in today.
- About The Author
- Ghayth Armanazi is a former Syrian diplomat who served as Ambassador of the League of Arab States to the United Kingdom in the years from 1992 to 2000. He previously also served in London as Political Attaché to the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates, and in the 80s as General Manager of the Arab Bankers Association, based in London. In addition he was the Editor-in-Chief of the quarterly Journal 'Arab Affairs' which was published by the Arab League in the years 1986-91. During all these years and beyond he regularly wrote and commentated on current Arab affairs in the press and broadcast media, being called upon especially during the outbreak of the 'Arab Spring'.
