Washington's Long War on Syria Stephen Gowans

The US has waged a long war against Syria from the very moment the country's fiercely independent Arab nationalist movement came to power in 1963. In this volume Stephen Gowans examines the decades-long struggle between secular Arab nationalism, political Islam, and United States imperialism for control of Syria, the self-proclaimed Den of Arabism, and last secular pan-Arabist state in the region.
