No Turning Back: Life, Loss, and Hope in Wartime Syria—Washington, D.C.

Описание: For years, Syria has dominated headlines with tragic reports of massive, forced migration and stories of strife, conflict, and severe human suffering. What they fail to show, however, is the tangle of ideologies and allegiances that have come to define the Syrian conflict.

Those more nuanced, complex details are the subject of No Turning Back: Life, Loss, and Hope in Wartime Syria, a new book by New America Fellow Rania Abouzeid. By delving into the difficult stories of four young people seeking safety and security in a splintered country, Abouzeid paints a vivid picture of the struggles and triumphs of those still actively living there. Based on more than five years of clandestine reporting on the front lines, No Turning Back peels back the layers to reveal a cast of indelible characters that demonstrate how hope can flourish in the face of catastrophe.

Join New America for the release of No Turning Back with a conversation with Rania Abouzeid on the stories of loss and hope in an unremitting humanitarian disaster.
