Music like Known Rebel

Yusuf al-Sa'dun (Arabic: يوسف السعدون) (1888–1980) was a Syrian rebel commander in the Hananu Revolt based in the Jabal Qusayr area near Antioch in modern-day Turkey. His memoirs of the revolt is the only known rebel testimony available about the revolt that "does not slip into ideological discourse", according to historian Nadine Meouchy.

Al-Sa'dun was born to a Sunni Muslim family in Jisr al-Hadid in the Sanjak of Alexandretta (modern-day Hatay Province) during Ottoman rule. Although he did not receive a military education, al-Sa'dun was known for his shooting skills and equestrianism. In 1914, during World War I, he volunteered to serve in the Ottoman Army's Hamidiye cavalry in Iraq against British forces.
