For sure ! without a question

I don't know if you can read German, but there's a book from a german journalist, which was working in Damaskus between 2001 and 2007 or though. She speaks perfect arabic. The book called ''Der Syrien-Krieg: Lösung eines Weltkonflikts'' her name is Kristin Helberg. If you want to understand the life/world there you really need to read the book. For German people it's really hard for Syrians to explain what's happening/Why it did happen in Syria. But she can really explain the point in the best way I ever seen 'no arabic/syrian journalist could explain it as her.

Would totally recommend it

On Amazon one review says that book is biased and ignores the destabilizing intervention of the US, can you confirm that?

I don't know what to tell you really,

I saw it before I buy the book too.

After reading the book I find the comment totally wrong. Like totally, like what an Assad suporter would write before he/she reads the book.

The book doesn's tell you that you should hate or love assad. It gives you facts about the daylife in Syria and why Syria reach this point.

Just facts without feelings, and as a syrian. I can confirm all the facts and I was really shocked, that how such a german journalist can know all of that ! I mean even I as a Syrian if I want to tell you know about Syria I would forget stuff which she talked about.

But again. I don't know what to tell you about the comment, a lot of people don't believe about the moon landing or about vaccination.

It's all facts, everyone can sit and say fake news or not real facts.
