Travels in Syria ― A Love Story

A historical hotspot if there ever was one, Syria has been loved and hated for millennia.

What is so significant about Syria? Location, location, location. Home to sacred ground and relics, the land of Syria has given birth and sustenance to the world’s three major religions—Judaism, Islam, and Christianity—and has soaked up its fair share of blood on their behalf.

As a strategic meeting point between East and West, Syria ranks high as a historical crossroads—for ancient world powers as well as for more modern adventurers like T. E. Lawrence.

Although one of the oldest continuously inhabited sites on earth, Syria has not remained stagnant. Always disputed, never submissive, and ever changing, this country is best approached through the lens of an admirer.

Carol Miller, a journalist, photographer, and sculptor nearly as multifaceted as Syria herself, spent ten years of research and travel to create Travels in Syria, a Love Story, her scholarly travelogue that offers readers a glimpse into the complex history of Syria.

Organized by city, the book takes readers on an enlightening journey, highlighting art, architecture, and history along with Miller's own personal experiences.
