Product Description
Assad: The Triumph of Tyranny
Author: Con Coughlin
Format: Paperback
Con Coughlin, a veteran Middle East commentator and author of Saddam: The Secret Life, charts how a mild-mannered ophthalmic surgeon became the tyrannical ruler of Syria. Once widely regarded as a benign, philanthropic figure alongside his London-born wife, Bashar al-Assad saw his country plunge into brutal civil war after the Arab Spring of 2011.
This vivid and authoritative account reveals how he secured the presidency from his father and clung to power over one of the modern era's most ruthless regimes.
