The Rise and Fall of Greater Syria
The Syrian Social Nationalist Party devoted itself to reviving and unifying the Syrian nation and establishing this nation’s complete independence over its historical homeland, Greater Syria.

Since the trial and execution of Antun Sa'adeh was held, many complex issues have been raised: Why the secrecy and haste? Was it a fair trial?

This book answers these and many more questions.
