Synopsis "An Inside Story of Modern Syria: The Unauthorised Biography of a Damascene Reformer"

A biography of the Dr. Muammad Imady, one of the longest-serving government employee of modern Syria through it's turbulent history.The Syrian Arab Republic has rarely been out of the headlines following the rise to power of Hafiz al-Asad in 1970 and Bashar al-Asad in 2000 and has been at the heart of the popular protests which have come to be known as the Arab Spring. This is a political biography of the author's father, Dr Muhammad Imady, the longest-serving minister of economy in modern Syria, and holder of several senior government posts. Dr Imady served at the center of government, personally and professionally, during Hafiz al-Asad's presidency, and was an intimate and objective observer of all aspects of Syria's turbulent history. Omar Imady follows his father's story from his beginnings to the present day, charting out the seemingly never-ending civil conflict, human suffering, and international interventions that plague the country's past and present. This is an inside story based on rare sources and experiences from both father and son. It illustrates the original and unique contribution of Muhammad Imady as a 'Damascene Reformer', a rare individual who pursued the seemingly impossible task of implementing positive change while serving a regime that demanded obedience and loyalty in response to actions often at odds with Muhammad Imady's own liberal democratic political ideas. At its heart, this book examines the timeless challenge of maintaining one's own integrity and principles in the face of a power system which seems bent on promoting the opposite.
