Notes	The Syrian writer Farouk Al-Musarradi deals with the historical and gradual development of the birth of the Arab Socialist Baath Party, until the date of its official founding on April 7, 1947 in Syria, Iraq, and Egypt. The writer was keen to place them in independent texts through which he sheds light on the life and role of the party’s most prominent founders, its basic principles and ideology, and its political positions, toward unity with Egypt, the Palestinian issue, and other issues in which the Baath Party had a role, while mentioning important details that keep pace with their contents. What happened yesterday and what is happening today are events on the international and Arab scene. The book was presented with a critical approach by the great French writer and journalist Christian Chenois, in which he says: “The Arab world today seems as if it is a prisoner of its ancient past, and is constantly searching for all independent means and methods in order to build its future. Under the control of the Ottoman and then European rule, these Arab peoples rarely decided their fate on their own, and the borders that we know today were drawn by France and Britain, and the Sykes-Picot Agreements are still at the heart of all the conflicts of the East. After World War II and the emergence of the colonial liberation movement, we witnessed the birth of an Arab nationalist ideology in the Baath Party, and Farouk Al-Musarra’i’s book has great merit in placing that movement in its historical context. “The Baath, in its Syrian, Iraqi, or even Egyptian (Nasserist) model, aroused great hopes for awakening and participation among the Arabs, but at the same time, it became the great main reason for the fall into delusion, as the Qatari nationalisms were stronger than the unitary wills, so the Baathist parties quickly fell into disarray. Conflicts and wars in the service of tyrannical rulers, Hafez al-Assad in Syria and Saddam Hussein in Iraq. “At a time when Arab societies are falling under the tyranny of Islamic and even jihadist forces, Farouk Al-Marrasi wonders about the necessity and importance of the Baath ideology today, beyond all its mistakes and failures. The Baath aspired to unite all Arabs, whatever their religions, so that they could live together in a unified and renewed world so that Arabism would remain a realistic reality, a vital identity despite the storms of the region, but it remains The question: What is its place today in the world of globalization, and what can it offer? This is the question that Farouk Al-Musladi is trying to answer. -- Bibliography: pages 211-212.
