In this episode, we talk about Syria. Or ask the question, really:
What is Syria? Syria has been described as a “ fulcrum of
geopolitical hegemony...” — a bit like Ukraine, interestingly —
“...in the Middle East.” For that reason, for thousands of years
Syria has been fought over and smashed up several times by invading
armies from all directions, making the country somewhat amorphous,
a patchwork of peoples practicing a huge variety of religions. More
than perhaps anywhere else, Syria’s road to modern nationhood has
been strewn with conflict—which we’ll explore through the prism of
our continuing journey across the Cold War Middle East. Listen to
