About The Book
Days of the Fall takes readers deep into the heart of the devastating wars in Syria and Iraq. Combining firsthand reporting with in-depth analysis, Jonathan Spyer offers a gripping account of the conflict's causes and effects over five years of immersive fieldwork. Having reported from key locations such as Aleppo, Baghdad, Damascus, and Mosul, Spyer witnessed some of the most pivotal events, including the rescue of Yezidis during the ISIS genocide, the Assad regime’s assault on Aleppo, and the rise of Kurdish power in northern Syria. The book examines the ethnic and sectarian divisions that have caused Syria and Iraq to fragment, giving rise to new geopolitical entities. Spyer also explores the proxy conflicts playing out between regional and global powers. Featuring interviews with figures from all sides, including Shia militias and ISIS members, this book provides invaluable insight into the human cost of these wars and their complex dynamics.
