This is the second time that NOLS has snatched this eBook back on its due date. I wasn't able to extend my hold because others are waiting for the book. I really hate the artificial scarcity of library eBook licenses 😤 I don't think I'll be checking this out again. The Damascus Incident itself is fascinating (and horrifying), and the author included all sorts of interesting historical tidbits, too; however, the book is written in a narrative style that feels really odd for a history book, character-driven and rambling, and I think I learned everything I wanted to know about the Incident on Wikipedia.
