 With the recent toppling of the Assad regime making headlines, today’s episode looks back at the man who built its foundation—Hafez al-Assad.

Born in a small coastal village, he rose through the military ranks and played a key role in several coups before assuming the presidency in 1971. For nearly three decades, he ruled Syria with an iron grip before passing power to his son, Bashar.

Join us as we explore his life, leadership, and the lasting impact of the Assad family on Syria’s history.
