When is a Revolution Over?
I was very pleased to be invited back to talk with Faisal al-Yafai on the Lede, the New Lines Magazine podcast. This time I was talking in part about my new book, The Blood Between Us: Syria After the Fall of Assad. One of the meanings of the title is explained here:
All that anger is preventing the country coming back together after 13 years of conflict, as suggested in the title of Yassin-Kassab’s new book. “You’ve got one community which is in rubble living next to another community where all the houses are intact, and that feeds into every other problem,” he says. “Sometimes it’s not even between sects or ethnicities. It may be between families, or between two different branches of the same family. One cousin informed on the other cousin, and the other cousin ended up in a torture chamber. And these people are angry with each other. In this sense, there is blood between us.”
