“My Road from Damascus: A Memoir” is an extraordinary account of survival in Syria’s most notorious military prisons. It is written by Jamal Saeed, who arrived as a refugee in Canada in 2016. In his native Syria, as a young man, his writing pushed both social and political norms. For this reason, as well as his opposition to the regimes of the al-Assads, he was imprisoned on three occasions for a total of 12 years.
