The Arab Spring was marked by eight stories of different civil uprisings in the Arab world. The Syrian story has been the most prominent and the most complicated. It was also the least expected country to witness a revolution in the light of its longstanding totalitarian regime. In addition to the abandonment of the international community and the involvement of rogue states such as Russia and Iran for the side of the Syrian regime, the longstanding life under the totalitarian regime played a role in the social fragmentation and the poor ability for a united front to emerge and represent the Syrian society. It also was responsible for the eruption of the revolution in the first place. This book examines the intellectual and behavioral changes the Syrian society has experienced under the Assad totalitarian regime and how they have reshaped the society and influenced the revolution and its outcome.
