The Blood Between Us: Power, Chaos and the New Syria

​“How can we trust these people? There is blood between us.”

​The writer Robin Yassin-Kassab heard that in Syria, and it became the title of his new book. The regime has fallen, and now the country has to find a way to rebuild. The people it turned against each other still have to live on the same street. Old scores and old suspicions are coming back out into the open.

​The Blood Between Us draws on Robin’s first-hand reporting and interviews across the country after the fall of Assad. His book is full of these stories: Syrians working out who this new Syria is for, what to do with the past, and what kind of country gets built next.
