Notes	Samira Al-Masalmeh’s book (The Syrian Collapse: The Struggle for Power, the State, and Identity) is one of the rare books that deals with the major Syrian event from the outbreak of the Syrian revolution until today. What distinguishes this book is the boldness, frankness, and transparency in its treatment, diagnosis, and criticism, especially the criticism of the Syrian opposition that failed to overthrow the regime, and failed to constitute a distinct and promising alternative to the tyrannical regime that has oppressed the souls of Syrians for more than half a century. In her introduction, the author poses several important questions that concern those interested and following the Syrian event and all Syrians who are jealous of their country, and who are searching for a solution to their multiple problems resulting from the brutal war that the regime launched against them. These questions relate to the inability of the opposition and the coalition, as one of its internationally recognized entities, to strengthen its position in Syrian communities at home and abroad, and why were the coalition and later the High Negotiations Committee unable to truly express the reality of the Syrian revolution? Why did the coalition, as the entity expressing the Syrian revolution internationally, remain unable to find a foothold in the areas called “liberated”? Why did his relations with the military factions remain limited or practically meaningless? These and other questions that the author poses to the opposition entities, especially the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, are valid questions that deserve to be asked, and they occupy the minds of all Syrians who yearn for freedom and dignity, just as the revolutionaries at the beginning of the revolution raised them as slogans of principle that cannot be avoided, no matter the sacrifices. --
