The War in Syria

by Claudia Martin

Published 6 September 2018
The media is full of images and stories about the people of Syria and the suffering they have undergone in recent years. This book looks in detail at the history of the conflict, explains how it came about and the plight of the refugees, while emphasising the point of view of the people actually involved.

The way that wars are fought is changing. Intelligence-gathering and combat are just as likely to occur online as on the battlefield. This series gives an up-to-date and detailed look at recent wars, including Syria, ISIS and cyber-warfare. Readers will understand the history behind the wars and the way in which forces are adapting their methods to cope with the ever-changing nature of war. The emphasis is very much on the people involved, using eyewitness accounts to provide much of the detail.
