Preview:  Look inside this book!

Syria and Iran are all over the current world news.  This book analyzes the historical relationship of these two countries.  From the introduction on page 3: This book aims “to provide an in-depth analysis of the forces that led to the emergence and consolidation of the Syrian-Iranian alliance during a turbulent decade in the modern history of the Middle East. The alliance between the two states, which has lasted for more than 25 years, has been an enduring feature of the political landscape of this troubled region. Moreover, since its inception, it has had a significant impact on moulding events and bringing about major changes in the contemporary Middle East.”
