Seeing Arabs Through an American School: A Beirut Memoir, 1998-2001
()
About this ebook
A reviewer in Connecticut observes: "As our national attention focuses more and more closely on that deeply troubled region, Mr. Obers experiences as president of a large private school take on increased relevance. Collectively, his descriptions develop a complete picture of an ancient and proud culture that is only glimpsed in other parts of the world amid dramatic news copy and images of violence" (Litchfield County Times, November 21, 2003).
