'No Turning Back: Life, Loss and Hope in Wartime Syria'

Midday on WNYC | May 28, 2018

The war in Syria is one of the most appalling tragedies of our time, but it's barely understood. Award-winning journalist Rania Abouzeid has spent years reporting on the Syrian conflict. In her new book No Turning Back: Life, Loss and Hope in Wartime Syria, she dissects the tangle of ideologies and allegiances that make up the conflict as told by Syrians living through the war.

This segment is guest hosted by Mary Harris. It originally aired on March 12, 2018.
