Focusing on the intricate propaganda war between the Syrian government and the opposition, this book delves into the narratives that shaped the conflict while excluding extremist groups. It examines how cognitive biases influenced perceptions and outcomes, arguing that the opposition succeeded internationally but faltered domestically. The analysis reveals that propaganda had limited effects, primarily reinforcing pre-existing attitudes rather than altering them. By challenging dominant discourses, it encourages readers to critically engage with various reporting on the war and understand its complex realities.
