In his book, Rabil examines the U.S.-Syria relationship, in a modern, historical, and Middle Eastern context. He focuses in particular on the role Syria has played in the American war on terror, and on how Syria has reacted to the war in Iraq. Rabil illuminates the delicate line Syria walks between pursuing national autonomy and stability and complying with the United States.
