This book is a study of Russia’s role in the Syrian civil war as well as an examination of the place of the Middle East in Russia’s overall foreign policy. In the course of examining these issues, the book documents how Russian intervention changed the course of the Syrian civil war and the impact it has had in Syria in the absence of a strong American presence to counter Russia. In addition, it looks at how the Russian military has applied lessons learned in the Soviet war in Afghanistan in its operations in Syria, how Syria could be a guide to how Russia would conduct future wars, Syria as an arena for Russia’s great power ambitions in competition with the West, and western misconceptions and mispersceptions of Russia.
