First published in 1939, Syria As It Is offers a comprehensive exploration of the political history of Syria. Spanning a wide range of topics, the book delves into the rich tapestry of the region's past. From the captivating allure of Lebanon, known as the "great Lebanon," to the ancient city of the world, Damascus, it sheds light on the diverse cultural and historical aspects of Syria. The chapter on the Druzes of Lebanon explores their unique identity and role within the country, highlighting their stronghold of Islam and their belief in the means of salvation. The government of the Djebel Druze is also examined in detail, shedding light on their unique governance structure and the significance of Easter celebrations in their communities.

The disunity of Syria is explored, as the country transitioned from a monarchy to a republic in 1922. The chapter on the government of Latakia provides insights into the political landscape of the coastal region, while the cedars of Lebanon are celebrated for their majestic beauty and ecological significance.

This book is a treasure trove of archival sources, maps, and images, making it an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Middle East history, Syrian history, and history in general. Its detailed narratives and comprehensive coverage provide a deep understanding of the complex political, social, and cultural dynamics that have shaped Syria throughout its history. Whether you are an enthusiast of Middle Eastern studies or simply seeking to broaden your knowledge of the region, Syria As It Is is a must-read.
