The crossing : my journey to the shattered heart of Syria

Yazbek, Samar (author.). Gowanlock, Nashwa, (translator.). Kemp, Ruth Ahmedzai, (translator.). Lamb, Christina, (writer of foreword.).

Summary: Samar Yazbek was well known in her native Syria as a writer and a journalist but, in 2011, she fell foul of the Assad regime and was forced to flee. Since then, determined to bear witness to the suffering of her people, she has bravely revisited her homeland by squeezing through a hole in the fence on the Turkish border. In this book, she testifies to the appalling reality that is Syria today. From the first innocent demonstrations for democracy, through the beginnings of the Free Syrian Army, to the arrival of ISIS, she offers remarkable snapshots of soldiers, children, ordinary men and women simply trying to stay alive.
