Reviews for The Wisdom of Syria´s Waiting Game: Foreign Policy Under the Assads
'Balanced, well-researched and authored by someone who lived and worked in Syria for years and is now based in Lebanon, Scheller's book steps back from humanitarian considerations and the endless debate on the dangers of jihadism and asks whether, logically and based on prior experience, any sort of diplomatic effort could actually achieve real gains.'
