Omar Hassan confronts the myth that the Assad dynasty in Syria was ever socialist or anti-imperialist.
Joseph Daher's book is a breath of fresh air and provides a detailed picture of the most important party in Lebanese politics, says Omar Hassan.
Omar Hassan analyses why the promise of a radical, democratic alternative to bourgeois parliamentary politics has evolved into a hierarchical party which has abandoned any serious pretence of fighting austerity even before being tested in government. Translated by Kristóf Nagy.
