Reviews
"At last, here is the first wave of books written by Syrians not about their escape to Europe as refugees from the war but about their lives inside the country . . . What emerges is a remarkably unified picture of the realities of life since 1970 in the Syria of the Assads . . . shows, unambiguously, precisely what the Assad government seek to conceal." - Times Literary Supplement "An account of oppression, war, survival and escape as the world ignored what was going on. A touching tale, this humanizes the story of war when often all we want to do is look away." - Metro "Powerful . . . Tightly-focused . . . A first-person, eyewitness account written with alternating love and fury." - Prospect "Eid's page-turning memoir is, above all, a deeply personal tale of survival . . . Gripping, hauntingly raw, and a testament to his resilience." - Maryam Saleh, author of THE INTERCEPT, "At last, here is the first wave of books written by Syrians not about their escape to Europe as refugees from the war but about their lives inside the country . . .

Synopsis
The Past Few Hours Came Flooding Back To Me. I remembered gasping for air, inhaling the most painful breath of my life. I recalled running to the street, seeing bodies everywhere, and the horrible, glassy stare of that little boy ... I heard a distant roar overhead: Assad's warplanes were approaching. I craned my neck towards the sky, watching for them and waiting for the sound of bombs. Was this really happening? I looked in all directions, surveying the ruins of my neighborhood, searching for something, anything that would help me make sense of it. Alm Dar was shouting to get my attention. I listened and stared but did not reply. I just couldn't process what was happening. He slapped me across the face. "Are they trying to invade?" I asked dumbly, "Yes!", "From where?" "Everywhere! We need everyone at the front lines. Can you fight?" "Yes.", In truth, I had never fought before. Book jacket., Kassem Eid survived arrest in al-Assad's regime, a chemical weapons attack that shocked the world, and the siege of a city where he fought with the Syrian rebel army. This is his story--a unique and powerfully moving testimony for our times, with a foreword by Janine di Giovanni. On August 21, 2013, Kassem Eid nearly died in a sarin gas attack in the town of Moadamiya. At least 1,500 people were killed. Later that day, he was hit by a mortar while helping the Free Syrian Army fight government forces. He survived that, too. But his entire world--friends, neighbors, family, everything he knew--had been devastated beyond repair. Eid recalls moving to Moadamiya in 1989, at the age of three. The streets where he and his eleven siblings played were fragrant with jasmine. But he soon realized that he was treated differently at school because of his family's Palestinian immigrant origins, and their resistance to the brutal regime. When Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father in 2000, hopes that he would ease the state's severity were swiftly crushed. The unprecedented scope of this brave, deeply felt memoir makes it unique in the body of literature to emerge from the Syrian civil war. Eid illuminates the realities of growing up in a corrupt dictatorship; the strictures of living under siege; the impact of unspeakable violence; and how, at extraordinary personal risk, he drew worldwide attention to the assault on cities across Syria. This is a searing account of oppression, war, grit, and escape, and a heartbreaking love letter to a world lost forever., Kassem Eid survived arrest in al-Assad's regime, a chemical weapons attack that shocked the world, and the siege of a city where he fought with the Syrian rebel army. This is his story--a unique and powerfully moving testimony for our times, with a foreword by Janine di Giovanni.

    The book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)
