To Beirut and Back

To Beirut and Back is a story about the author’s entrepreneurial pursuits that took him to Beirut, Lebanon. He got caught up in Lebanon’s civil war that led to his abduction and financial disaster. He departed Lebanon when the civil war’s 27th cease-fire failed to hold. Trying to recoup his losses, he returned one year later and was hailed as “The First American Back” by a British journalist. His travels throughout the M.E. region reveals the difficulties encountered by westerners doing business in that region along with misconceptions associated with their culture. His firsthand exposure to participants in the perpetual M.E. struggle caused a dramatic change in attitude.

It sounds as though you have led a fast paced and interesting life, Abe. It would also seem your book would be enlightening and help bring some understanding.

Thanks Zada. Those who have read it found it to be enlightening.

Just changed my Avatar, temporarily. This was a photo taken by a British Journalist who did a story on me as "First American Back in Beirut" in 1976. I'm pointing to the large gaping hole in my office building. This part of me is cropped from the larger picture.

As one who has read Abe's story, I did find it enlightening and compelling. I highly recommend it.
