Reviews
“In addition to explaining the causes of a long conflict, Syria in perspective strips off a lot of myths that come to us about the conflict in Syria”.
“A splendid book has just appeared, Syria in Perspective. More than a new version of the war, it is a different insight for trying to know and understand the reality of a place and a society that as the author says no one knows despite having heard so much about it”.

“How does a multi-religious state work? The journalist and professor Pablo Sapag explains it in Syria in perspective. He analyzes the historical and political keys to the Syrian conflict, the different fronts, regional and global interventionism and the propaganda and information around this conflict”.
“In short, we are facing an essential work to understand the historical, political, economic and, above all, religious and propagandistic dynamics of the Syrian crisis. A work that every objectivity and rigour lover should read calmly before passing judgment on such a matter ‘intoxicated’ of prejudices and misinformation”.

“In Syria in perspective, Pablo Sapag refers to ‘the exhaustion of Syrians’, but also to the international actors in this long conflict that began in 2011 as a popular revolt, turned into a long and bloody war”.
“The book is very interesting for several reasons, but it is also very useful to better understand reality and have another point of view. The Syrian question should not interest us only because of socio-cultural, intellectual or simple curiosity, but because what happens in the Middle East has a direct effect on what happens here”.

“The work presented by Professor Sapag is a clearing in the middle of the forest about a crisis that the author addresses in its different facets from intellectual honesty and with due academic and scientific rigour. It is the product of years of research in different countries and it includes information obtained through interviews with leading figures, such as the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad”.
“The important contribution of this book, written in an agile and clear tone, is that it analysis a conflict from a multiplicity of angles, representing an indispensable tool for understanding in all its nuances a complex reality largely unknown to the West”.

“Pablo Sapag brilliantly describes the Syrian crisis and its context, but his contribution goes beyond the specific case. In Syria in perspective, the crisis in that country can be seen as an authentic example of the collapse of the world system and the pretense of North American unipolar hegemony”.
“Sapag reveals the keys that have marked the years of conflict between the government of Bashar al-Assad and a multitude of internal and external agents”.
