  • The Conscience of Lebanon
    THE CONSCIENCE OF LEBANON ‘During the Syrian takeover of Lebanon starting in 1975 and ending in 2000, a dark time of civil war, brutality, and betrayal, few Lebanese managed to maintain a reputation for morality, much less devotion to a set of principles. Etienne Sakr numbered among the rare exceptions, and his place in Lebanon’s history is well documented and rightly applauded by Mordechai Nisan in his exemplary and important biography.’ Dr Daniel Pipes, Middle East Forum, Philadelphia ‘Through the exceptional personality of Etienne Sakr, Mordechai Nisan—a scholar on non-Muslim communities in the Middle East—has brilliantly sensed the vibrant spirit of the Lebanese people, their inextinguishable love of freedom, their resolve in spite of adversity, their faith in human dignity and liberty, even while being betrayed by their friends. A masterly description of a unique human and historical drama that deserves a better understanding.’ Bat Ye’or, author of Islam and Dhimmitude (2002).
