...we could also quote Michael Bruning,
The Study House that Assad Built...
or, as a counterpoint, Tony Burdans',
Syria's Assad no longer in vogue...
There were experts a plenty during the Cold War (many of whom failed to predict its end no less), and I can see you your Seale and raise you a Pipes, Fred Lawson, Nikolas van Dam, Rabinovotch, Batatu, Dawisha, Perthes, Lesch, Ziser, Moaz (&c). We could throw "experts" at each other till the cows come home.
