This is a quick overview of the Assad family and their complex ruling of Syria. For most Westerners, the Middle East is difficult to understand. Complex religious and cultural ties (going back thousands of years) come to bear in their relationships and beliefs. One of the benefits of reading this is that Charles Rivers lays out the 'Arab Spring' uprisings in one continuous story, which helps the reader to understand.
