THE RISE AND FALL OF GREATER SYRIA - CARL C YON...

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. It continues its struggle today  influencing and shaping Lebanese and Syrian society and
politics. Yet  the party remains largely unknown and misunderstood  a condition that stems from
the lack of any comprehensive study of it. This book fills this gap. Syrian nationalism and
nationalist movements  generally speaking  have been largely neglected and ignored by
historians  scholars  and observers of the Middle East. So  too  has the SSNP. The lack of
detailed and nuanced analyses has left significant gaps in the party's rich history unaddressed
and enabled the perpetuation of inaccuracies and misperceptions regarding its past. Given this
and the party's ongoing relevance in Lebanon and Syria  a thorough examination of the early
history of the SSNP  the political organization and movement that embodied Syrian nationalism's
most explicit  most cogent expression is even more necessary. Based on an extensive and
thorough examination of Arabic  French  and English primary sources  the monograph is the first
comprehensive  systematic history of the SSNP to date  detailing its struggle to fulfill its
nationalist vision and establish a secular  independent state in Greater Syria through a
thorough analysis of its formation  evolution  and political activities in Lebanon and Syria.
