About No Turning Back: Life, Loss, and Hope in Wartime Syria

<p><em><em>A </em>New York Times</em> Notable Book of 2018 </p> <p>This astonishing book by the prize-winning journalist Rania Abouzeid tells the tragedy of the Syrian War through the dramatic stories of four young people seeking safety and freedom in a shattered country.**</p> <p>Extending back to the first demonstrations of 2011, <em>No Turning Back</em> dissects the tangle of ideologies and allegiances that make up the Syrian conflict. As protests ignited in Daraa, some citizens were brimming with a sense of possibility. A privileged young man named Suleiman posted videos of the protests online, full of hope for justice and democracy. A father of two named Mohammad, secretly radicalized and newly released from prison, saw a darker opportunity in the unrest. When violence broke out in Homs, a poet named Abu Azzam became an unlikely commander in a Free Syrian Army militia. The regime’s brutal response disrupted a family in Idlib province, where a nine-year-old girl opened the door to a military raid that caused her father to flee. As the bombings increased and roads grew more dangerous, these people’s lives intertwined in unexpected ways.</p> <p>Rania Abouzeid brings readers deep inside Assad’s prisons, to covert meetings where foreign states and organizations manipulated the rebels, and to the highest levels of Islamic militancy and the formation of ISIS. Based on more than five years of clandestine reporting on the front lines, <em>No Turning Back</em> is an utterly engrossing human drama full of vivid, indelible characters that shows how hope can flourish even amid one of the twenty-first century’s greatest humanitarian disasters.</p> <p>**</p>Review <p>“[An] unparalleled account of the Syrian uprising.”<br> - <em>The New Yorker</em> </p> <p>“Extraordinary.… There is no better way to refocus on Syria than to read Rania Abouzeid’s book.”<br> - <em>Financial Times</em> </p> <p>“Probably the most perceptive journalistic account of the war so far.”<br> - <em>New York Review of Books</em> </p> <p>“Page after page of extraordinary reporting and many flashes of exquisitely descriptive prose.… [U]nforgettable.… Abouzeid’s remarkable journalistic and literary work has given us, at last, a book worthy of the enormous tragedy that is Syria.”<br> - Christopher Dickey, *New York Times Book Review* </p> <p>“[An] unparalleled account of the Syrian uprising, drawing on six years of immersive reporting.”<br> - <em>The New Yorker</em> </p> <p>“Eloquent and devastating.… Abouzeid relates the drama of this chaos in gripping prose.”<br> - <em>The Christian Science Monitor</em> </p> <p>“Rania Abouzeid has produced a masterpiece.… No one else, to my knowledge, has reported this story so bravely or narrated it with such intimacy and power.”<br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></p>
