The Emirate of Aleppo by Suheil Zakkar

 Way back in 2017 when I started developing the campaign "A War Like No Other,"  one of the sources I looked for high and low was the one by Suheil Zakkar.  At one point, there was a hardcopy on Amazon for approximately $150.

One random day in June 2023, I stumbled on a copy of the draft of the manuscript submitted in 1969 for Dr. Zakkar's PHD.  The pdf is available through the SOAS eprint website.  The link for the full 298 page thesis is available here. There are an additional 16 pages that appear to be short biographies of other Islamic writers from antiquity.  These pages are obviously not part of the original thesis judging by the print quality and font.
