4.0 out of 5 stars Syrian Ba'ath Party History
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2007
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent history of the Ba'th Party in Syria during the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s. The work pre-dates Hafez Assad's Regime in Syria, as well as the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. If you are looking for a basic history on the origins of the party or on Michel Aflaq, this is a good place to begin.
