Authors : Taalah Asma . Guerza Radia .

Abstract

This paper endeavors to gain deeper insight of ‘war propaganda’ in the 2016 academic book "The Dirty War on Syria: Washington, Regime Change, and Resistance" by Dr. Tim Anderson. It attempts to shed light on the contributors to the war in Syria, and those who are the source of massive disinformation campaign. This study is a critical review undertaken to discern the author’s thoughts on the topic of ‘war propaganda’ in Syria using analysis rather than a summary. The results obtained showcased that according to Anderson, the U.S. has actively supported the homicide of innocent civilian Syrians. Also, the book juxtapositions American/ Western embedded media stories of alleged atrocities and war crimes supposedly committed by Assad and the Syrian Army against the strong forensic evidence provided by reliable eye witnesses and credible independent journalists.
