In 'No Turning Back: Life, Loss, and Hope in Wartime Syria', prize-winning journalist Rania Abouzeid presents a poignant narrative of the Syrian conflict through the intersecting lives of four individuals. Through more than five years of intrepid and undercover reporting, Abouzeid exposes the complexities of the uprising and the ensuing war. Her account takes us inside the regime's prisons, reveals the manipulations of foreign influencers, and describes the rise of Islamic militancy. Centered on the personal stories of a young man capturing the protests on video, a newly radicalized father, a poet turned FSA commander, and a child witnessing her family's disruption, Abouzeid's book is a moving testament to the resilience of the human spirit amidst one of the 21st century's most devastating humanitarian crises.
