Ebook About From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Black Flags, the thrilling unknown story of America’s mission in Syria: to find and destroy Syria’s chemical weapons and keep them out of the hands of the Islamic State In August 2012, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was clinging to power in a vicious civil war. When secret intelligence revealed that the dictator might resort to using chemical weapons, President Obama warned that doing so would cross “a red line.” Assad did it anyway, bombing the Damascus suburb of Ghouta with sarin gas, killing hundreds of civilians and forcing Obama to decide if he would mire America in another unpopular Middle Eastern war. When Russia offered to broker the removal of Syria’s chemical weapons, Obama leapt at the out.So begins an electrifying race to find, remove, and destroy 1,300 tons of chemical weapons in the midst of a raging civil war. The extraordinary little-known effort is a triumph for the Americans, but soon Russia’s long game becomes clear: it will do anything to preserve Assad’s rule. As America’s ability to control events in Syria shrinks, the White House learns that ISIS, building its caliphate in Syria’s war-tossed territory, is seeking chemical weapons for itself, with an eye to attacking the West. Red Line is a classic Joby Warrick true-life thriller: a character-driven narrative with a cast of heroes and villains, including weapons hunters, politicians, doctors, diplomats, and spies. Drawing on astonishing original reporting, Warrick reveals how the United States embarked on a bold adventure to prevent one catastrophe but could not avoid a tragic chain of events that empowered America’s enemies.Book Red Line: The Unraveling of Syria and America's Race to Destroy the Most Dangerous Arsenal in the World Review :
I worked with the author at the Washington Post some years ago, though I haven't seen him for some years. This is an astonishing book. It is a book about the Syrian use of chemical weapons; the impossibly difficult international efforts to control them; and the ultimate frustration of those efforts by Assad and Putin. An important subject and it may sound like a dense one.Red Line is as exciting, fast-paced and full of heroes and villains as any thriller you may be reading. But it's real. Joby Warrick's mastery of this super-complicated material is amazing. I am not exaggerating how good it is; read it and see. 2021 Book #21 - Red Line: the Unraveling of Syria and America’s Race to Destroy the Most Dangerous Arsenal in the World - by John WarrickWarrick is an exceptional author. In this book he tells the story of Assad’s chemical weapons in three parts - the initial attacks against his own people - the dismantling and destruction of that program - and lastly the use of chemical weapons by ISIS and the proof that the program we thought we destroyed remains an on-going threat to the Syrian people and the world.Part of Warrick’s genius is picking heroes and villains from a cast of thousands and creating a historically accurate page-turner that makes you want to cheer and boo.Part II does do a fabulous job giving the backstory of a very cool operation. Asad claimed to open the doors to his chemical weapons program after getting caught using Sarin to kill 1400 of his own citizens in a horrible war crime. But how do you destroy 600 metric tons of chemical weapons? The answer to that question involved the creation, in only five months, of a field deployable hydrolysis system (breaking down the nerve agents with high pressure high temperature water) and deploying it to accomplish their task AT SEA on a huge ro-ro ship that spent 42 days doing just that!Sadly, the primary takeaway from the book is that we are in a no-win situation. After spending more than a billion dollars on a covert program to arm Syrian rebels to force Asad out of office (Google “Timber Sycamore”) we finally realized that the program was backfiring as most (possibly almost all!) of the advanced weapons we sent to stop Asad were ending up in the hands of Islamic terrorists. The Obama administration came to realize that they may be headed towards “catastrophic success” - IDG Asad was deposed, it would be by Islamist militants allied with Al Qaeda and armed by the US.With Russia and Iran solidly backing Asad, and using the Russian veto power on the UN Security Counsel at every turn, there is no viable solution to the problem this brutal dictator, who has killed 500,000 of his own people and turned another 7 million into refugees, represents.This is the third book I’ve read about Syria and the second by Warrick. His book “Black Flags: the Rise of ISIS” remains one of my top recommended books about terrorism (along with Ali Soufan’s excellent books, Black Banners, and Anatomy of Terror.)The other Syria books I’ve read, Charles Lister’s “The Syrian Jihad” and Sam Dagher’s “Asad or We Burn the Country” are both much more far-reaching in scope and much more difficult to consume. Still, both do a far more comprehensive job of helping expound on the story of the Syrian Civil War and its complexities, but they do so in a way that only a scholar of terror or the Middle East would really appreciate.Warrick’s book does a great job of building a framework that tells the story in very consumer-friendly broad brushstrokes. I recommend it!
