Book Interview: Surviving the War in Syria: Survival Strategies in a Time of Conflict

By Lewis Reining

This famous image of Abu Omar, listening to his record player in Aleppo, taken by photographer Joseph Eid, serves as the front cover image of Schon’s book.

WTJU’s Lewis Reining talks with author Justin Schon about his latest book, “Surviving the War in Syria: Survival Strategies in a Time of Conflict.” In it, Justin uses analysis from over 200 interviews with refugees to argue for civilian agency in times of conflict and to unpack the complex decision making that happens as civilians try to navigate their everyday lives.
