This review is from: Syria: A Selection of Reports (Paperback)

Syria is an exotic word, but in our poorly informed world it's associated with our worst assessment of the Middle East. Wrong! Carol Miller demystifies a fascinating country, rich in culture and history, and probably the single most definitive force in shaping the development of the West. Syria was at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and the Mesopotamian worlds, then later of emerging Islam and declining Byzantium, and no less important, the clash of Christians and Muslims during the Crusades, a battle many are still fighting, at least in their heads. This book will dissipate the ignorance, inspire admiration, and no less important, fill the reader with admiration for Miller's research and writing style. A worthy gift.
