Editorial Reviews

Review

"Powerful and moving. . . bears comparison with George Orwell’s Homage To Catalonia as a work of literature, Yazbek is a superb narrator. . . it may be that [she] has written one of the first political classics of the 21st century." —Observer


"Brave, rebellious and passionate. . . Yazbek is no ordinary Syrian dissident." —Financial Times


"An eloquent, gripping and harrowing account of the country’s decline into barbarism by an incredibly brave Syrian." —Irish Times

About the Author

Samar Yazbek is a journalist who has written op-eds for the New York Times and Washington Post. Her translated work includes A Woman in the Crossfire, her diaries of the first four months of the Syrian uprising. Christina Lamb is the Foreign Correspondent for the Sunday Times and the coauthor of I Am Malala.
