Unfortunately, I don't have the time to really give this book the review it deserves.In brief, this is a well sourced book that gives accurate names, dates, and places that prove US and US ally destabilization operations and activities within Syria. This book is not about defending the Assad government. It's about exposing the lies the media has told, setting the record straight, and showing the provable connections of US intelligence and Neoconservative groups and US allies to rightwing radical Islamic terrorists in Syria and the Middle East.This is a great resource of information to combat the misconceptions and many outright falsehoods in regards to the conflict in Syria.The key to examining any situation like Syria's is of course keeping in mind 'who has the most to lose and who has the most to gain', and the authors most certainly keep our eye on the prize in that respect.Cons:First, it's short, but the conflict is still unfolding so hopefully there will be more editions of this book yet to come. (But hopefully for the sake of the Syrian people this conflict ends sooner, keeping this book shorter.)A couple of the conclusions drawn in this book are not entirely provable (and unfortunately may not be or won't be for sometime), but the authors have made a great deal of effort to provide enough evidence to back their claims, by disproving disinformation the mainstream media has spread, providing sound info that clearly outlines motivations, establishes a clear track record of prior criminal and morally reprehensible behavior, and given all possible alternatives, makes the author's assertions the most probable.On a personal note, I would like to have seen more info on the breakaway city of Yabroud.
