A great book filled with facts by Robert Fisk and co. Also a great reminder for the people who followed the actual events closely, when they were happening.
Besides recapping the book also showed some facts that I missed or never even encountered during 2014 and knew nothing about.
A great, but rather hard read, as the books is filled by comments from the people who suffered these events first hand. The authors do not shy away from the grim commentary made by the local population.

A really good look into the Syrian war from almost day 1 until the end of 2014. While it is not a scholarly study (Nor is it meant to be), the reporting is top notch in my opinion. It has that urgency and rawness that someone on the ground while it is happening can only provide. I learned a lot, some of which I wish wasn't true, but that is truly life.
