Reviews
'An indispensable account throwing light on neglected aspects of the Syrian war, and a much-needed contribution to our understanding of conflicts in the twenty-first century.'
'An ambitious, original and impeccably documented vision of the Syrian disaster. Vignal's command of her topic is impressive; her empathy, and the clarity of her research, set War-Torn apart from previous works on the Syrian crisis.' -- Jean-Pierre Filiu, Professor of Middle East Studies, Sciences Po, Paris School of International Affairs
'An interesting, innovative project advancing original arguments about Syria's transformations since 2011. Vignal is a clear, concise writer with intimate knowledge of the country. Her book is an important contribution to our understanding of contemporary Syria.' -- Marwa Daoudy, Seif Ghobash Chair in Arab Studies, Georgetown University, and author of 'The Origins of the Syrian Conflict'
'The festering war in Syria is the most brutal tragedy of our time. Leila Vignal spells it out in all its horrific details: the revolution, its suppression and fragmentation; the destruction, displacement and economic collapse; and the plans for discriminatory reconstruction.' -- Nasser Rabbat, Aga Khan Professor of Islamic Architecture, MIT
