A Guardian Reporter on Syria

The recently released book, Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution and War by Robin Yassin-Kassab and Leila Al-Shami mentions in Chapter 10 some of the media coverage concerning the cataclysmic crisis in Syria. One journalist mentioned is The Guardian's Martin Chulov.

Here is a list of the names of some of the articles that Martin Chulov has written in his reporting of the ongoing crisis in Syria since it began in early 2011. The names of the articles comes from The Guardian's list of his articles. In this list I have tried to focus on the situation in Syria but since the conflict in Syria and Iraq and so closely connected now it can be hard to decide what to include or not.

Some articles are written with others. Some live blogs are included as well.
