We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled - by Wendy Pearlman (Paperback)

We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled is an unforgettable chronicle of first-hand testimonies from the frontlines of Syria's brutal civil war.

Based on interviews with hundreds of displaced Syrians conducted across four years and three continents, this breathtaking mosaic forms a testament to the power of storytelling and the resilience of those who face darkness with hope, courage, and moral conviction. With heart-stopping narratives that are both eloquent and aphoristic, We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled changes the way we think about Syria's conflict and its victims.

From the government's ferocious response to the demonstrators' refusal to back down, sparking a brutal war that has escalated into one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of our time, this collection offers an unflinching look at the lives transformed by revolution, war, and flight. With a foreword by renowned author and Nobel Prize winner, Svetlana Alexievich, We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the Syrian conflict and its aftermath.
