My Road from Damascus

My Road from Damascus is the compelling memoir of Jamal Saeed, a Syrian author and political dissident who endured decades of imprisonment and hardship due to his opposition to the al-Assad regimes. Spanning from 1950s Syria to his escape to Canada in 2016, the narrative offers a vivid portrait of a nation in turmoil, intertwined with Saeed’s personal journey of love, rebellion, and resilience. While candid about the brutality he faced, the memoir also explores moments of hope, beauty, and poetic reflection amid a backdrop of political upheaval.
