Nice reference

Dated book but a good quick reference about Lebanon's most influential political family, the Gemayels gave 2 presidents of Lebanon and built the oldest and at one time largest right wing Christian political party in the entire Middle East. Well illustrated (black and white pictures only) but not really for the age group listed (9-12 years), it's concise but not attractive for today's young audience. Well worth checking out to learn about the most turbulent period of Lebanon's modern history and its most interesting political figures.
