It's kind of hard to find one big source, I kind of learned about it by pulling bits and pieces from all over the place, and it's hard to find good sources without some form of brainworms/really weird focuses but I can give it a shot.
Saddam Hussein was a Ba'athist so most recent US soures in particular are completely fucked, and Western leftists don't tend to work too hard to correct the record because again, not only are they fash they're heavily associated with the Western alt-right.
Got halfway through doing this in rely to your post in the other thread and gave up when life got busy. I'll try and do it incrementally here so wherever I have to stop you still have something.
Basically, you're looking for a history of the Ba'athist movement.
I say they were "Nazi style" fascists because a) they were massive stans of the OG Nazi party, gave fleeing Nazis government positions, fully buy into the whole "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" thing, did state backed pogroms as soon as they took power, invite Neo-Nazis for state visits to do TV rallies, and Jews are still banned from holding government jobs (most of them, in a collectivized economy) or political office in Syria today.
Will edit/update with links as I find them.
The Ba'ath and Syria: 1947-1982 by Robert Olson seems good, I'm having trouble pirating it though.
