SOLD OUT Dateline Damascus: An
Eyewitness Report on the Syrian Uprising
Despite the regime of President Bashar al-Assad regime
having banned almost all foreign journalists from entering the country since
Syria’s uprising began, Reese Erlich managed to get in. While traveling on
assignment for the Christian Science Monitor and the Australian Broadcasting
Corporation, Erlich met underground activists in Damascus and government
supporters in Dara, the cradle of the uprising. He gained rare insight into the
intentions of opposition leaders, the government they want to create, and their
attitudes towards Israel and the US. He found leaders of Syria’s Kurdish
community hostile towards the regime, but fearful of what might replace it.
Reese
Erlich’s history in journalism began 43 years ago at Ramparts Magazine. He
reports regularly for NPR, the Canadian and Australian broadcasting companies
and Radio Deutsche Welle in Germany. He has won numerous broadcasting awards
and is the author of four books, one of which, Conversations with Terrorists,
will be available for sale.
