Reliable information from inside Syria is notoriously hard to come by. Few foreign journalists are allowed in, and many of those who have reported from inside the embattled country had to sneak in, reporting anonymously so as to maintain their cover.

Lynch shares her impressions and experiences of her time within Syria and assesses the fragile state of the country.
