While recent scholarship has focused on wartime Syria, this book is dedicated to heads of state in the immediate post-Ottoman era until the end of the French Mandate in 1946. Here, renowned Syrian historian, Sami Moubayed, examines Syria's first eleven heads of state who led the country between 1918 and 1946. With a chapter dedicated to each leader, Moubayed sheds light on the political culture of the time and traces the trajectory of how Syria was governed through colonialism, monarchism and federalism and republicanism. The study draws on numerous archives, political memoirs and first-hand interviews with key figures who were active between the 1930's and 1950's, providing a rich picture of Syrian political culture during this forgotten period.

"Recent scholarship on Syria has been overwhelmed by analysis of the civil war. This book addresses the modern history neglected by academics over the last ten years. Written by renowned Syrian historian, Sami Moubayed, it covers the late Ottoman era to the years of the Syrian-Egyptian Union (1958-1961) and its immediate aftermath, known as the Succession Era. The book present readers with a Syria that is very different from the Syria of today. The chapters depict a country driven by a need to experiment with different forms of government, ranging from monarchism in 1918-1920, federalism in the 1920s, republicanism after 1932, and autocracy from 1949. The book also includes controversial historical episodes, most of which have not been written about in English before: political murder, the history of the Syrian presidency, French colonialism, federalism, secularism, authoritarianism, higher education, monarchism, and the start of Syria's socialist economy in 1961. In showing a Syria that is rich politically, economically, culturally and socially, the author argues that this Syria could serve as a blueprint for the Syria of tomorrow. The book relies heavily on British archives and first-hand interviews with figures who were active between the 1930's and 1950's. It draws together the key English and Arabic works by the author - currently available only in hard-to-reach journals - with additional new chapters to establish this book as a comprehensive historical account of the period"--

Between 1949 and 1957, ten coups shook Syria. Each attempt to overthrow the government was led by powers sympathetic to either the Soviet Union or the United States. Damascus Between Democracy and Dictatorship details the oscillations that rocked the Arab region during this transitional period, ultimately destroying Syria's chances for a stable democracy. Different levels of struggle are analyzed within the context of global Cold War politics, and the roles of specific leaders are critiqued.

In 1860, Damascus was a sleepy provincial capital of the weakening Ottoman Empire, a city defined in terms of its relationship to the holy places of Islam in the Arabian Hijaz and its legacy of Islamic knowledge. Yet by 1918 Damascus had become a seat of Arab nationalism and a would-be modern state capital. How can this metamorphosis be explained? Here Leila Hudson describes the transformation of Damascus. Within a couple of generations the city changed from little more than a way-station on the Islamic pilgrimage routes that had defined the city's place for over a millennium. Its citizens and notables now seized the opportunities made available through transport technology on the eastern Mediterranean coast and in the European economy. Shifts in marriage patterns, class, education and power ensued. But just when the city's destiny seemed irrevocably linked to the Mediterranean world and economy, World War I literally starved the urban centre of Damascus and empowered its Bedouin hinterland. The consequences shaped Syria for the rest of the twentieth century and beyond.

In the midst of turmoil in the Middle East, and in the face of protests and demonstrations from Homs to Damascus and other places all over Syria, the Ba'th Party and Bashar al-Asad are truly caught up in a struggle to hold onto power in Syria. In this important book, Nikolaos van Dam explores and explains how the Asad dynasty has come to rule Syria for about half a century and keep the complex patchwork of minorities, factions and opponents securely under control for such an unprecedented long period. Through an in-depth examination of the role of sectarian, regional and tribal loyalties, van Dam traces developments within the Ba'th party and the military and civilian power elite from the 1963 Ba'thist takeover up to the present day.
