'In this outstanding study, Schon advances our theoretical and empirical understanding of civilian agency in civil war. Taking on the individual psychology, emotion, and social relationships that underlie citizen behavior, supported with fascinating data from Syrian migrants, the book is both ambitious and rich.' Michael G. Findley, University of Texas, Austin 'Schon offers a rich, insightful analysis of coping strategies during the Syrian War. Through extensive field research and surveys of refugees, this book provides a micro-level look into the difficult decisions civilians make during armed conflict. Given the international significance of the Syrian conflict, this book could not be timelier.' Idean Salehyan, University of North Texas 'Surviving the War in Syria analyzes how civilians seek safety during civil war. Schon develops new theory about civilian survival strategies, and reports careful and extensive qualitative and quantitative fieldwork among refugees from Syria, making an important contribution to our understanding of civilian behavior in the face of war and conflict.' James Igoe Walsh, University of North Carolina, Charlotte
