À propos de cet audio
Once in a decade comes an account of war that promises to be a classic.
Doing for Syria what Imperial Life in the Emerald City did for the war in Iraq, The Morning They Came for Us bears witness to one of the most brutal, internecine conflicts in recent history. Drawing from years of experience covering Syria for Vanity Fair, Newsweek, and the front pages of the New York Times, award-winning journalist Janine di Giovanni gives us a tour de force of war reportage, all told through the perspective of ordinary people - among them a doctor, a nun, a musician, and a student. What emerges is an extraordinary picture of the devastating human consequences of armed conflict, one that charts an apocalyptic but at times tender story of life in a jihadist war zone. Recalling celebrated works by Ryszard Kapus´cin´ski, Philip Gourevitch, and Anne Applebaum, The Morning They Came for Us, through its unflinching account of a nation on the brink of disintegration, becomes an unforgettable testament to resilience in the face of nihilistic human debasement.

Worth the listen
This is the first book that I read on the Syrian conflict and it will likely not be the last. It is made up of multiple different stories and portrays the struggles of daily life in Syria. Throughout the book I found myself looking/waiting for the conclusion to each story but only to find that none was provided. That’s the sad truth of this conflict... there is no conclusion for these people. Great book, hopefully it will bring more attention to this conflict and perhaps some solutions.
