Since the publication of my book, Bashar Assad, 2000-2008: A President in the Crucible, in 2022, I have received feedback from numerous readers who believe that I extensively explored the life of a sitting president. This aspect has presented a significant challenge when referring to historical documents to support my arguments. I acknowledge the potential limitations that could categorize my work purely as journalism. Nevertheless, I am persistently examining almost twenty-five years, surpassing the tenures of five American presidents, four French presidents, six British prime ministers, and three Russian presidents.
Since the Assad family assumed power in Syria in 1970, the United States has witnessed the tenure of ten presidents, France has seen seven presidents, Great Britain has had eleven prime ministers, and Russia (including the Soviet Union) has had seven leaders.
