Syria: The Rise and Fallout of the House of Assad

7/26/2019 | 26m 46sVideo has Closed Captions

What can the Assad family's rise to power tell us about today's devastated Syria?

After eight years of civil war in Syria, with hundreds of thousands of its citizens dead and millions more fleeing the country, one question looms large: how did things get so bad? During those early days of peaceful protest, what prompted a shoot-to-kill order from the highest levels of government? The answer begins with the rise to power of the Assad family.
