World War in Syria: Global Conflict on Middle Eastern Battlefields
by AB Abrams
Clarity Press, £19.57
THIS remarkable book sheds fresh light on the ongoing conflict in Syria and presents evidence that this is no civil war but is in fact a war of aggression by Nato powers and its allies.
By the end of 2009, the governments of Britain, the US, France, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel, and Jordan had all begun preparing operations to forcefully topple the Syrian government.
All deployed special forces into Syrian territory to support anti-government forces from the war’s outset.
