Between 1949 and 1957, ten coups shook Syria. Each attempt to overthrow the government was led by powers sympathetic to either the Soviet Union or the United States.

Different levels of struggle are analyzed within the context of global Cold War politics, and the roles of specific leaders are critiqued.
