The Road from Damascus: An American traveling alone meets smugglers, mystics, revolutionaries, Bedouins, wise men, secret police— and other ordinary Syrians
Scott C. Davis
CUNE Press, 2003, paperback, 388 pp.
Based on two trips—ten weeks in 1987 and three weeks in 2001—The Road from Damascus is a fast-paced, insightful look at Syria and her people. Davis traveled widely: Damascus, the coast, Masyaf (home to the Assassins), Aleppo and the steppes of al-Jazeera. His return trip—a chapter unto itself—allows him to catch up with friends made a decade earlier and to chronicle the changes in the country. A fine introduction to a much-maligned nation and to otherwise unknown ordinary Syrians.
