`Powerful ... A humbling and important first-hand account of a
brutal civil war in which as many as 500,000 people have died'
Guardian`A memoir of resistance and survival unique in the annals
of modern war ... If the shedding of blood can be beautiful in
words, he makes it so' Wall Street JournalBorn to Palestinian
refugees, Kassem Eid grew up in the small town of Moadamiya on the
outskirts of the ancient city of Damascus, playing in streets
perfumed with jasmine.But it didn't take long for Kassem to realise
that he was treated differently at school because of his family's
resistance to the brutal government regime. When Bashar al-Assad
succeeded his father in 2000, hopes that things might change for
the better were swiftly crushed. When the 2011 Arab Spring protests
in Syria were met with extreme violence, it was yet another blow -
and as Kassem reached young adulthood, the country spiralled into
civil war.Then, on 21 August 2013, Kassem nearly died in a sarin
gas attack that killed hundreds of civilians. Later that day, he
would pick up a gun for the first time, to join the Free Syrian
Army as they fought government forces. For Kassem, this marked the
moment that he and his country changed forever - even as the rest
of the world turned its face away.
