Welcome to this special series on the history of the Ba'th Party which ruled Syria and Iraq for decades. The party of Saddam Hussein and Bashar al-Assad it was an odd concoction of Arab Nationalism, Socialism, Nativism and Quasi-Fascism which grew to be a defining political force in the Arab World.
In this third episode, Sam and Edgar discuss how the Syrian Ba’th came to be controlled by the Assad-family, which in turn ruled Syria for more than half a century. How did the Assads come to power and what policies defined their rule?
