Anbu Touma, "The Syrian Civil War" - Recommended for learning about the Assad regime and the history of the civil war. Also to learn about the connection to the Russian-Ukrainian war.
The book provides a chronological account of the complex and bizarre Syrian Civil War.
The explanations are quite detailed and can be read by those who know nothing about this civil war. It was very easy to understand the flow of how this civil war came to be so intricately composed.
It was also important for me to know the tactics of the U.S. and Russia in response to this civil war. I now understand why this civil war was so important in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
