Commanding Syria : Bashar al-Asad and the first years in power
When Basher al-Asad became President of Syria in June 2000, he had a tough act to follow. A quiet, unassuming opthalmologist, trained in Britain, young Asad was successor to his dynamic, wily father Hafiz. This work is about Basher al-Asad. It assesses the durability of Hafiz's legacy, including the influence of the old power-brokers.
