Résumé

In the heart of the Middle East, Syria has been both a cradle of civilization and a crucible of modern conflict. The Assad Conundrum: Conflict and Change in Syria by Borna Ahadi unravels the complex story of Bashar al-Assad's rule, from his unexpected rise to power to the brutal realities of the Syrian Civil War. This meticulously researched work goes beyond headlines, delving into the political machinations, social upheavals, and geopolitical rivalries that have shaped Syria's recent history.
Through a balanced yet unflinching lens, the book examines Assad's transformation from a Western-educated ophthalmologist into one of the world's most polarizing leaders. It captures the human cost of war: the shattered cities, the refugee crisis, and the resilience of the Syrian people. It also explores the roles of foreign powers-Russia, Iran, the United States, Turkey-and how their interventions turned Syria into a chessboard of global interests.
Borna Ahadi's narrative combines eyewitness accounts, insider testimonies, and deep geopolitical analysis to explain how the Assad regime has endured despite internal rebellion, international sanctions, and near-total diplomatic isolation. It confronts the paradox of a leader who is simultaneously a symbol of stability for some and a tyrant for others, revealing the layers of loyalty, fear, and survival that underpin his continued grip on power.
From the early days of the Arab Spring to the devastation of Aleppo, from clandestine negotiations to the propaganda wars fought online, The Assad Conundrum presents a panoramic view of a nation at the crossroads of history. It challenges readers to understand not only the politics of the Assad era but also the cultural, sectarian, and historical forces that made this crisis inevitable. More than a biography, this is a chronicle of a nation's struggle with identity, sovereignty, and the price of change.
It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the enduring conflict in Syria and the man whose name has become inseparable from it.
