The Ba'th and the Creation of Modern Syria (RLE Syria)

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the Ba'th party's influence, the book explores modern Syria's political evolution, starting from the ideological roots of the 1940s. It highlights the significance of the Sixth Congress in 1963 and Michel Aflaq's Muntalaqat document, which shaped Ba'thist thought. The narrative details the military's rise to power, culminating in Hafiz al-Asad's leadership in 1970, and discusses the party's diminished internal role amidst Syria's regional significance. The conclusion reflects on Syria's future prospects and the possibility of a Ba'thist resurgence.
