Description
Syria Through Jihadist Eyes A Perfect Enemy by Nibras Kazimi offers a unique perspective on the Syrian regime and its relationships with other countries in the region. Drawing from his field notes, Kazimi provides an insider's view of the intelligence barons and soldiers who run Syria, challenging the country's presumed readiness for peace. Kazimi assesses the ingredients required for a successful jihad in Syria, including sectarianism and global jihadist interests, and how these might impact policy overtures from Washington aimed at normalizing relations with the Asad regime. This thought-provoking analysis sheds light on the strategic motivations behind jihadist involvement in Syria. By examining the Syrian regime's relationships with Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, and the United States, Kazimi provides a nuanced understanding of the complex web of interests at play in the region.
