Anas Al Khabour publishes a new book: The Fertile Desert: A History of the Middle Euphrates Valley until the Arrival of Alexander

This book attempts to reconstruct the history of the Euphrates Valley between the mouths of the Balikh and the Khabour. Several surveys, archaeological expeditions, and interventions of the Syrian Directorate of Antiquities, have made a significant amount of data available which contribute to an improved overview of the region.
