A compelling personal account of one woman’s journey through the first 100 days of the Syrian Revolution. A Woman in the Crossfire is Samar Yazbek’s haunting account of her experience of the uprising. Denounced by her family and clan for her vocal opposition to the regime, forced to live on the run with her daughter and detained on multiple occasions by authorities, she continued to record the testimonies of figures in the Opposition, documenting their role and hers in the burgeoning movement. Yazbek captures it all in the poetic language of a woman trying to come to terms with the horrific scened being played out on the streets of the country she loves.
