{"product_id":"9780349013350","title":"Untitled Syrian Memoir","description":"Loubna Mrie was raised a staunch Syrian Alawite, the same sect as then President Hafez al-Assad. Her mother's father helped plan the coup that saw Hafez seize power in 1970 and bring the Alawites out of hiding and into a position of total control. Her father was intimately involved in Hafez's government as an enforcer and assassin.When the Arab Spring reached Syria in 2011, she attended a protest against his son Bashar's government out of curiosity and her life changed forever. When she returned to her grandparents' home in Damascus, her family called her a traitor. Unable to look back, she plunged ahead into a life of activism - in opposition to both the regime and her abusive father - with unimaginable consequences. Loubna's father was exiled, her mother murdered and her boyfriend, Peter Kassig, an American, was executed by ISIS.This memoir will tell her story in her own words.","brand":"Loubna Mrie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48415073304894,"sku":"9780349013350","price":455.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780349013350_bbdd14e7-b301-4bbd-bac6-f6fef6904379.jpg?v=1715095505","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780349013350","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
