Red Line: The Unraveling of Syria and America's Race to Destroy the Most Dangerous Arsenal in the World Free Audiobook Download by Joby Warrick

Red Line: The Unraveling of Syria and America's Race to Destroy the Most Dangerous Arsenal in the World is a book written by Joby Warrick. It is about the U.S.'s involvement in Syria and specifically how it became responsible for both the regime change as well as securing Syria's chemical weapons.

In this gripping account, Pulitzer Prize-winner Joby Warrick traces the history of Syria's chemical weapons program from its origins in the scientific research conducted by German and U.S. scientists during World War I to its eventual use by Bashar al-Assad's regime as part of a wider strategy of repression, torture, and murder against dissidents.

Syria is the most dangerous arsenal in the world. America has been steadily arming and funding terrorist organizations there in hopes of toppling their government from within, but it hasn't happened yet. In Red Line, Joby Warrick gives readers an insider's look into how a small group of rebels with no weapons or training managed to destroy an entire Syrian air base with an improvised explosive device smuggled on board a Russian cargo plane.

In Warrick's newest book, The Red Line: The Unraveling of Syria and America's Race to Destroy the Most Dangerous Arsenal in the World, he tells a story about how Syria was "the possessor of a nuclear weapon that had not been used for decades." With interviews from experts and insiders, including Gen. Wesley K. Clark Jr., former commander of NATO troops in Kosovo and Afghanistan, Warrick takes readers on a journey through time and space to help explain what has transpired since then.

The Red Line is the name given to a secret map of Syria. It was drawn in 2012 and is made up of three nearly contiguous lines, each roughly 25 miles long, which join in southern Damascus. The most important thing about it? It marks where Bashar al-Assad wanted to deploy chemical weapons, if he ever used them again, before the United States intervened militarily in the civil war.

The Syrian civil war has been raging for five years and the United States' involvement in it is not a secret. The US has declared that their goal is to destroy the Assad regime, but the truth is that they are also fighting ISIS, al-Qaeda, and other terrorist groups. In Red Line: The Unraveling of Syria and America's Race to Destroy the Most Dangerous Arsenal in the World, Joby Warrick explains how Syria became a proxy war which descended into chaos due to Russia's involvement.
