The Syrian Revolution: From Uprising to Liberation (2011–2024)
By A. R. Kelani
A sweeping historical and analytical account of Syria’s greatest
struggle.
From the first cries for freedom in Daraa to the fall of Damascus in
2024, this book traces the thirteen-year journey of the Syrian people—from
peaceful protests to brutal repression, to armed resistance, foreign
interventions, unimaginable suffering, and finally, a long-awaited victory.
Inside the Book:
• The roots of repression under Hafez and Bashar al-Assad
• Daraa: The spark that ignited the revolution
• The role of youth, women, and civil activists
• The Free Syrian Army, Islamist factions, and the battle against ISIS
• Iran, Russia, and the silence of the world
• Atrocities: prisons, sieges, chemical massacres, and mass
displacement
• Building the new Syria after Assad — reconciliation, reconstruction,
and the road ahead
This is not just a chronicle of events — it is a tribute to the
martyrs, a voice for the silenced, and a roadmap for the future of Syria and
the Arab world.

The Druze Sect: History, Doctrine & Reality
Compiled by A. R. Kelani
A penetrating exploration of one of the most enigmatic sects of the
Levant.
For centuries, the Druze have been a puzzle—secretive in belief,
closed in practice, yet deeply influential in Middle Eastern politics. This
groundbreaking book offers:
Doctrinal Analysis — A clear presentation and critique of Druze
theology, drawing from their own secret texts (Epistles of Wisdom) alongside
classical Sunni scholarship.
Historical Depth — From the Fatimid Caliphate and Crusades, through
Fakhr al-Dīn II’s power struggles, to their modern role in Lebanon, Syria, and
Palestine.
Contemporary Insight — A study of how the Druze position themselves in
today’s political and religious landscape.
Balanced with rigorous historical research and a theological lens from
Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah, this book is not polemical but scholarly,
thorough, and timely—a vital contribution to understanding identity, doctrine,
and history in the Middle East.
