Yet there are no heroics here. The experience of Abouzeid's subjects is always more important than her own, a journalistic discipline as welcome as it is rare. No Turning Back won’t tell you what to think about Syria. It will tell you how to think about a war without end, with the humility and compassion Abouzeid's craft inspires." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1058e929f187ee1a230616/1553521269323-ZWPRVTKBG1V48D2TEHRX/1528414438-1528414438_goodreads_misc.jpg No Turning Back - Sarah Jessica parker recommends… “A wonderful book by Rania Abouzeid, who has been covering Syria for years. She wrote No Turning Back: Life, Loss, and Hope in Wartime Syria about her experience covering Syria, and it’s really devastating … I just think it’s a really great book. It’s not a pleasant story, but any time we have an opportunity to better understand that conflict and the devastation, I think we’re better for it.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1058e929f187ee1a230616/1527136594242-4USX3RC9MHVIBM5LUSYC/culbooks01159132658.jpg No Turning Back - Newsweek: The 50 Coolest Books This Summer "You will not find an end to the seven-year Syrian civil war in this book.

(Her) eye and ear for the telling detail, the pregnant anecdote, the overheard phone conversation are testimony to her narrative skills. The writing is searing and sparingly beautiful without ever trivializing the destruction and suffering." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1058e929f187ee1a230616/1533983475832-K2SM5AEH0QFQEB2LJKDH/RTX6CD0E.jpg No Turning Back - No Turning Back Selected by the International Institute for Strategic Studies as one of the 'best security and world affairs books this summer’ 2018 The Arab Weekly: Talking with Rania Abouzeid about ‘Loss and Hope in Wartime Syria’ BookRiot: “The prose is evocative and beautiful, the reporting powerful and thorough” Socialist Review: “A must-read for those who want to look beyond the chaff of disinformation around Syria” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1058e929f187ee1a230616/1542591438454-LEAN67GT8BMAQ7Q188BH/Screen+Shot+2018-11-19+at+3.36.45+am.png No Turning Back https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1058e929f187ee1a230616/1542930965371-HDOBGB60T59BSJ9Y2SAF/illo.gif No Turning Back - No Turning Back makes the NYT’s ‘100 Notable Books of 2018’ GQ: 14 Reads on the 2018 NYT’s Notable Books List That Will Blow Your Mind - including No Turning Back https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1058e929f187ee1a230616/1542806035434-YFPLLS3PJW3M7BA6GYOI/guiftguide_01.0.jpg No Turning Back - Vox’s gift guide for global citizens No Turning Back is “a great gift for anyone who wants to understand what’s happening in Syria … This book centers on the people at the heart of the conflict and brings their experiences to life.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a1058e929f187ee1a230616/1542806381205-NFCGPQLHN74VEO3R6YUW/boty-intro.png No Turning Back - ‘Understanding the World’ Book of the Year “It’s the level of journalistic enterprise and gritty ground-level storytelling that sets apart No Turning Back from a thick stack of eyewitness books on the war in Syria.
