Piecing together one of the worst crimes in modern history: the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian war. For the first time, Nowhere to Hide tells extraordinary stories from those who came closest to these attacks and those who risked their lives to tell the world what was happening. From field hospitals in Aleppo to the boardrooms of the United Nations, from frontlines in Damascus to courtrooms across Europe, survivors, doctors, journalists, lawyers, diplomats and forensic investigators recount their struggle for survival, truth, and justice.
More than a decade after Syrians first took to the streets, Assad has only tightened his grip on power. But determined survivors and advocates like Mazen Darwish are seeking accountability for the regime’s crimes. On a long, arduous road through European courts, they hope to put the truth on record – and shape a more hopeful future.
