"A smart history."---Thomas L. Friedman, New York Times
"A very useful primer on an astonishingly complex history."
*Foreign Affairs*
"Syrian Requiem: The Civil War and Its Aftermath makes a bold claim
in its very title. It rests on the idea that something
fundamentally Syrian has slid into memory, never to
return."---Lazar Berman, Times of Israel
"Of all the books I’ve read about the ongoing civil war in Syria,
Syrian Requiem: The Civil War and Its Aftermath is the best of the
lot. . . . . It is concise yet comprehensive, scholarly yet
accessible."---Sheldon Kirshner, Times of Israel
"Syrian Requiem is an original and valuable addition to the
literature on the Syrian civil war, and is likely to become one of
the early standard texts on this subject, specifically with regard
to its cogent examination of the diplomatic, strategic, and high
policy elements of the war’s trajectory."---Jonathan Spyer, Tel
Aviv Review of Books
"A valuable book for students of geopolitics and the ever turbulent
Middle East."
*Kirkus Reviews*
"Important and impressive. . . . [Syrian Requiem] is an
indispensable book for anyone wishing to understand one of the most
tragic civil wars in the Middle East."
*Survival*
"Packed with information, this slick book manages to offer a
comprehensive look at the causes and immediate consequences of the
civil war, and the way in which peaceful protests staged as part of
the Arab Spring rapidly escalated into a civil war with important
and far-reaching international ramifications. An engaging reading,
Rabinovich and Valensi’s argument will be of interest to academic
and non-academic audiences as well as to undergraduate students and
faculty alike."---Lavinia Stan, European Legacy
