Cade Publishing Syria On The Brink Us National Security And A Country In Turmoil by Christopher J Hill
Committing US resources to the Syrian conflict was a mistake. It did nothing to alleviate the destruction, it did nothing to promote US national security, nor did it provide long-term benefits in defeating terrorism; the Islamic State might have been significantly reduced, but the ideology is a long way from being defeated.Syria on the Brink: US National Security and a Country in Turmoil is a look at Syria preceding its devastating civil war that began in 2011; the crisis did not form in a vacuum, nor can the situation be analyzed as such. Author Christopher J Hill discusses the role of Western governments in creating the modern states of Syria and Israel, and the conflict that continues to exist between the two. This conflict includes many other countries and non-state actors and has ultimately led to the Syria that has been bogged down as a failed state for many years as well as the terrorist groups that dot the landscape.Syria on the Brink looks at the current situation in Syria, how it developed, and how future tensions can be avoided, ultimately leading to a stable Syria and a peaceful Middle East.
