"This is the best book yet published on the ongoing civil war in
Syria." -- R. W. Olson, University of Kentucky, Choice Connect"An
indispensable account throwing light on neglected aspects of the
Syrian war, and a much-needed contribution to our understanding of
conflicts in the twenty-first century." -- France Culture
"An ambitious, original and impeccably documented vision of the
Syrian disaster. Vignal's command of her topic is impressive; her
empathy, and the clarity of her research, set War-Torn apart from
previous works on the Syrian crisis."-- Jean-Pierre Filiu,
Professor of Middle East Studies, Sciences Po, Paris School of
International Affairs

about Syria's transformations since 2011. Vignal is a clear,
concise writer with intimate knowledge of the country. Her book is
an important contribution to our understanding of contemporary
Syria."-- Marwa Daoudy, Seif Ghobash Chair in Arab Studies,
Georgetown University, and author of The Origins of the Syrian
Conflict
"The festering war in Syria is the most brutal tragedy of our time.
Le�la Vignal spells it out in all its horrific details: the
revolution, its suppression and fragmentation; the destruction,
displacement and economic collapse; and the plans for
discriminatory reconstruction." -- Nasser Rabbat, Aga Khan
Professor of Islamic Architecture, MIT
