Summary:

War in Syria: Russian Press Coverage, 2015-2017 fills a unique niche in political and military studies by presenting key events in the Syrian Civil War--the deadliest conflict of the last 15 years--from a perspective that differes markedly from Western reportage. East View Press has produced this volume by translating and selecting the most informative and interesting articles and opinions from primary sources. Most of the articles are taken directly from the Current Digest of the Russian Press (CDRP) and are exclusive to that publication--most of these materials cannot be found in English on the Internet or anywhere else. They provide a unique view into the mindset of Russian leaders, scholars, commentators and others about the Syrian catastrophe.
