Brooke wrote a book about their experience called “The Other Side of the Mirror: An American Travels Through Syria” (Paul Dry Books). Within 2 years of their trip, civil war broke out and many of the landmarks that Peter had photographed were damaged or destroyed. His photographs—now a precious documentation of Syria’s vanishing history and culture—are currently on exhibit at the Venice Biennale and can be seen in a new book called “Syria Before the Deluge.”<a href="http://www.blurb.com/b/8701320-syria-before-the-deluge"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5187" src="https://i1.wp.com/robinhoodradioondemand.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/download-54.jpg?resize=244%2C206&ssl=1" alt="" width="244" height="206"></a></p> </div>
