As former Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora states, 'This book is essential for anyone who wants to understand a significant era in Lebanon's history.' Robert Fisk describes it as the best account of Rafic Hariri's life and legacy, filled with suspenseful moments. This work explores a turbulent period in modern Lebanese history, covering key political, economic, and strategic developments over the past four decades. It extensively addresses the 'Hariri Era', highlighting his journey filled with ambition, tension, hard work, and patience, along with his achievements in national reconciliation, reconstruction, and turning Lebanon into a hub for commerce and finance. The book delves into the conflicts of interest Rafic Hariri faced locally, regionally, and internationally, the pressure he endured, and his tragic end. It examines the motives behind his assassination, the international investigation and its developments, suspicions surrounding Bank Al-Madina, and the role of cellular communications on the night of the crime. Additionally, it reviews the July-August war and its military and political consequences, catering to the Arab reader after two English editions.
