For the first time, this book reveals secret messages exchanged between Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian, and other officials, in addition to the minutes of meetings between Lebanese President Elias Sarkis and Syrian President Hafez al-Assad. Recorded for the first time, these documents unveil the reality of what was happening in the arena of conflict in Lebanon, showing the extent of the existing contradictions and the shifting positions adopted by each party as a result of internal and external dictates. The author paints realistic portraits of Lebanese and Arab leaders based on his direct relationships with them, offering an objective analysis of the events that occurred during the most difficult era in modern Lebanon, after Israel invaded Lebanon twice in 1978 and 1982.
