Oaklandsocialist interviewed Anand Gopal, who is the author of “Days of Love and Rage”, which is about the Syrian revolution in one relatively small town – Manbij. I’ve probably read 5oo-750 books in my life, and without qualification this is the most gripping book I’ve ever read bar none. That includes other histories, science, and all sorts of fiction. Gopal gives a vivid view of what “revolution” means. In the course of this interview, we discussed some of the individuals in the book, the rise and fall of revolution and counter revolution, ISIS, the Kurdish YPG, some points about how tyrants fall, the class conflict within the Syrian revolution, perspectives for the present regime... and much more. If you haven’t read this book, you won’t be disappointed if you get it. Here is the video of the interview and below it is a transcript. Here is the interview in both video form and a transcript.
