BURNING COUNTRY: SYRIANS IN REVOLUTION AND WAR
Book ID/图书代码： 10953016B87698
English Summary/英文概要： In 2011, many Syrians took to the streets of Damascus to demand the overthrow of the government of Bashar al-Assad. Today, much of Syria has become a warzone where foreign journalists find it almost impossible to report on life in this devastated land.Burning Country explores the horrific and complicated reality of life in present-day Syria with unprecedented detail and sophistication, drawing on new first-hand testimonies from opposition fighters, exiles lost in an archipelago of refugee camps, and courageous human rights activists among many others. These stories are expertly interwoven with a trenchant analysis of the brutalisation of the conflict and the militarisation of the uprising, of the rise of the Islamists and sectarian warfare, and the role of governments in Syria and elsewhere in exacerbating those violent processes.
With chapters focusing on ISIS and Islamism, regional geopolitics, the new grassroots revolutionary organisations, and the worst refugee crisis since World War Two, Burning Country is a vivid and groundbreaking look at a modern-day political and humanitarian nightmare.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2011年，许多叙利亚人走上大马士革街头，要求巴沙尔•阿萨德政府下台。如今，叙利亚的大部分地区成为战区，外国记者发现几乎无法报道这片荒芜土地上的生活。
《燃烧的国家》用前所未有的细节和老练探索了如今叙利亚恐怖和复杂的生活现实，吸收了来自反对派战士，迷失于一个难民营群岛的流亡者和其他勇敢的人权活动家的第一手证言。有力地分析了冲突的残暴行为和起义的军事化，伊斯兰教徒和宗派战争的兴起，以及叙利亚和其他地方政府在加剧那些暴力过程中所起的作用，将这些故事被巧妙地交织在一起。
一些章节重点关注ISIS和伊斯兰教，边缘政治和新的基层革命组织，以及二战以来最严重的难民危机，《燃烧的国家》是对当代政治和人道主义噩梦的生动和开创性探索。(LNL)
Awards/获奖情况：几十年来，叙利亚人被禁止讲述自己的故事和他们国家的故事，但现在罗宾•亚辛-卡萨布和莱拉•Al-沙米讲述了叙利亚的故事。他们的文字展现了这个否认自己，否认他们同胞的政治代表的被摧毁的国家。对于那些想知道叙利亚真相的读者来说，《燃烧着的国家》是不可或缺的一本书。“——亚辛阿勒-哈吉萨利赫
’For decades Syrians have been forbidden from telling their own stories and the story of their country, but here Robin Yassin-Kassab and Leila al-Shami tell the Syrian story. Their words represent the devastated country which has denied them and their compatriots political representation. Burning Country is an indispensable book for those who wish to know the truth about Syria.’ Yassin al-Haj Saleh
