Rise to power of Sami al-Hinnawi

The August 1949 Syrian coup d'état was the second in a series of successive coup attempts in Syria that occurred in 1949. It was led by Colonel Sami al-Hinnawi, who assisted in the earlier coup attempt in March that toppled the weak Republican government of Shukri al-Quwatli and brought Colonel Husni al-Zaim to power. The August coup marked the end of Zaim's short-lived regime, which lasted approximately 137 days.
