Business Networks in Syria

Bassam Haddad was my student for a year at Georgetown.  We became close friends.  I am very proud of his success: and I always tell him, I wish him more success than I wish for myself, and I mean it.  His book on Syria is out and I so strongly and enthusiastically recommend it.  He is my foremost expert on Syria and I have learned a lot on Syria from him.   I read this book when it was a PhD dissertation and thought it was one of the most original works on Syria and still think so.  Go read it NOW.
