From Pulitzer and National Book Award finalist Anand Gopal comes Days of Love and Rage: A Story of Ordinary People Forging a Revolution, an epic and enthralling account of six Syrians fighting for a better world, in the tradition of classic works by Philip Gourevitch and Katherine Boo.

Anand Gopal immerses you in the world of a single city in the throes of revolution, and lays bare the danger that inequality poses to democracy. But this book transcends the particulars of one terrible conflict to tell the broader story of rising authoritarianism in our times. Days of Love and Rage has the force, sweep, and artistry of a great novel, and is ultimately a story of our enduring human need for dignity and hope.

You can purchase a copy of Days of Love and Rage at the City of Asylum Bookstore.
