Assad and Me: A Memoir of Revolt Against the Syrian Regime
What piqued my curiosity the most was that not even cockroaches and mice came into this room. Perhaps they didn't dare to. Is it possible that humans have a greater tolerance for dirt than vermin? This is what crossed my mind on the evening of October 1st, 2013, just two days after I was arrested. The thoughts still haunt me here in New York, thousands of miles away from that awful prison cell. I anticipated the very moment of my arrest, years before it happened. I was certain that I would eventually be incarcerated, but couldn't yet imagine how or where.

Assad and Me
"Assad and Me" blends personal biography and national history. It is a description of the Syrian revolt and the murderous regime it opposed. I am the first Syrian journalist to cover the events of the Syrian revolution inside Syria; this is my report years after the catastrophe in my country.
I have presented details about security, the economy, and Iranian penetration into the deep state leading to the Syrian civil war.

About the Author

Issam Khoury, a Syrian journalist, writer, and researcher for +15 years, has written hundreds of journal articles on terrorism, politics, sustainable development, human rights, minorities in the Middle East, and religious schools in Syria and the Arab world.

He was a target of harassment from the Syrian regime in his country, especially since his writing and civil activism focused on supporting democracy and freedom in the Arab region. Two novels were censored from publishing, and one was withdrawn from libraries in 2002.

In 2015, the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York gave him a fellowship to pursue his journalistic research across the university.

In 2016, he established the Center for Environmental and Social Development as a non-profit organization in the United States.
