A SWEEPING NOVEL OF INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE ABOUT THE SYRIAN CIVIL WAR, THE FAILURE OF THE WEST TO SAVE THE SYRIAN PEOPLE, AND HOW THAT INACTION AGAINST THE RUSSIAN INCURSION EMBOLDENED VLADIMIR PUTIN TO ATTACK UKRAINE
In 2012, President Obama declared that if Assad used chemical weapons in Syria, that would cross a red line. A year later, Assad murdered a thousand people in East Damascus with sarin, and the West did not respond. Soon after, the Russians vastly augmented their presence in Syria, built a huge air base to add to their warm water port on the Syrian Mediterranean and from those runways bombed the Free Syrian Army across the breadth of Syria.
Based around these true events, THE SYRIAN SUNSET tells the tale of a fictional Syrian Military Intelligence general who wants a better Syria, and the events that led to the death of 500,000 civilians, 5 million people fleeing Syria, another 15 million being displaced internally.
By the author of THE DAMASCUS COVER, now a major motion picture starring Sir John Hurt and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
***** "For a terrifying book, Howard Kaplan's The Syrian Sunset is a surprisingly enjoyable read. I couldn't put it down, but at the same time I found the historical information the story is based on deeply disturbing."
*****"Few authors are able to take you both inside the minds and hearts of protagonists, while creating a sense of place that is so visual it is almost cinematic."
***** "Kaplan has created some very funny and likable characters as he explores a very bitter subject. His political commentary is worth the read."
*****"A stunner. A book about culture and barbarism; mankind's ability to survive and its inexplicable inhumanity to others, including its youngest citizens; the history of a region and its systematic demolition; love and treachery."
