As Beirut exploded with the bombs and violence of a ruthless civil war in the ’80s, a nine-year-old Salma Abdelnour and her family fled Lebanon to start a new life in the States. Ever since then—even as she built a thriving career as a food and travel writer in New York City—Salma has had a hunch that Beirut was still her home. She kept dreaming of moving back—and finally decided to do it. But could she resume her life in Beirut, so many years after her family moved away? Could she, or anyone for that matter, ever really go home again? Jasmine and Fire is Salma’s poignant and humorous journey of trying to resettle in Beirut and fumbling through the new realities of life in one of the world’s most complex, legendary, ever-vibrant, ever-troubled cities. What’s more, in a year of roiling changes around the Middle East and the rise of the Arab Spring, Salma found herself in the midst of the turmoil. As she comes to grips with all the changes in her life—a love left behind in New York and new relationships blossoming in Beirut—Salma takes comfort in some of Lebanon’s enduring traditions, particularly its extraordinary food culture. Through the sights, sounds, and flavors of a city full of beauty, tragedy, despair, and hope, Salma slowly begins to reconnect with the place she’s longed for her entire life.

The people of Lebanon will see a lot of change as the future becomes present. The country has overcome adversity in all phases, and it will continue to overcome. As the first 100 years ends, and the next 100 years await, the generations forthcoming will have a lot more pressure to sustain an environment that is fair and just. The people that have run this country will no longer be around. People will die, and they will be replaced by people who will take on the responsibility of leadership. Nobody lives forever. If Lebanon can maintain its peace, then the generations forthcoming will have a much easier time to lead. The memories of the 1975-1990 civil war will fade away and the people living in future generations will not have much connection to their forefathers that died on the battle ground. If you look at the world today, there is no living World War 1 veteran. They have all died and moved to heaven. The last living World War 1 veteran died in 2012. That means there is no living connection in the entire world left from that phase of time, in terms of people that were on the battleground. With no living connection left, the last link of World War 1 is now gone, and all that are left are memories and stories of how it was back then. The great-great grandchildren of those soldiers are living in present day, many of them never meeting their great-great grandfathers, the soldiers that survived the war. A soldier that was 18 years old when he went to war but survived, may have died in the 1950s or even the 1960s. His great-great grandchildren may not have been born until the 1980s or 1990s. This new generation doesn't know the horrifying life of the past, of World War 1 and how that war decimated Europe at that time.In the present, people travel the world and interact with one another. Descendants from countries of the Allied Powers interact with the descendants from countries of the Central Powers. Americans and Canadians interact with Germans and Bulgarians. The world has changed, the hate of that time is now gone. The fighting happened, and then the world moved on. Lebanon is at a stage where it needs to move forward. After all that has happened, the civil war, the war of 2006, the economic meltdown, the 2020 explosion that shocked the world. Lebanon has future generations that need to move on, put the hate and disorganization in the past, and make the country the best it can be. The Lebanon of the future will be unlike the Lebanon of the past. At some point before the year 2030, Lebanon will have a leader that will take the country to new heights and into prominence it has not seen in its history. At one-point heaven on earth, and at one-point hell on earth. The leader that comes forward and does right by the people, he will be loved and respected. His legacy will live on the next 100 years as the man who made change happen. This is now the time for that leader to emerge. Lebanon has had countless leaders assassinated or pushed out of office due to public pressure amid corruption. The people need a man they can trust. The people need a man that will be their voice on a united front. By the year 2100, there will be no living soldiers from the civil war of 1975-1990. There will only be stories in history books and schools teaching the students of how things were. The further we get away from that war, the more society in Lebanon will be able to move forward and the hate will dissipate. But people don't want to wait until the end of this century to realize what Lebanon can be. They don't want to wait for change. Life is too short; they want that change now! That change is forthcoming. In other countries, although politicians are known for getting away with alleged corruption to some degree, eventually the truth comes to bare. But with the Lebanon of the past, the finger pointing doesn't stop. The strongest and most resilient humans on earth, the Lebanese.

On April 13, 1975, four Phalangists were murdered during the attempted assassination of Pierre Jumayyil. In a retaliation effort, the Phalangists attacked a bus filled with Palestinian passengers, killing twenty seven of the occupants. And so began a civil war in Lebanon that would last sixteen years and take more than one hundred thousand lives. In his posthumous collection of poetry, Haas Mroue offers deeply moving lyrical verse that details his traumatic experiences as the chaos of the war in Lebanon engulfed his childhood, as well as the experiences of the some nine hundred thousand who were forced to flee their homes. Recalling how he helplessly witnessed rockets flying over rooftops and listened for names of the dead on the radio, Haas relies on strong imagery as he shares how he lived through a war with no name and somehow managed to escape Beirut with nothing but his memories. Originally written some twenty years after he fled the war, the poetry in Beirut Seizures carefully examines difficult subjects and politically charged ideas with grace, emotion, and a strong voice, making it a powerful statement about the impact of war on ordinary people.

A stunning new espionage novel by a master of the genre, Beirut Station follows a young female CIA officer whose mission to assassinate a high-level, Hezbollah terrorist reveals a dark truth that puts her life at risk. Lebanon, 2006. The Israel-Hezbollah war is tearing Beirut apart: bombs are raining down, residents are scrambling to evacuate, and the country is on the brink of chaos. In the midst of this turmoil, the CIA and Mossad are targeting a reclusive Hezbollah terrorist, Najib Qassem. Najib is believed to be planning the assassination of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who is coming to Beirut in ten days to broker a cease-fire. The spy agencies are running out of time to eliminate the threat. They turn to a young Lebanese-American CIA agent. Analise comes up with the perfect plan: she has befriended Qassem's grandson as his English tutor, and will use this friendship to locate the terrorist and take him out. As the plan is put into action, though, Analise begins to suspect that Mossad has a motive of its own: exploiting the war’s chaos to eliminate a generation of Lebanese political leaders. She alerts the agency but their response is for her to drop it. Annalise is now the target and there is no one she can trust: not the CIA, not Mossad, and not the Lebanese government. And the one person she might have to trust—a reporter for the New York Times—might not be who he says he is… A tightly-wound international thriller, Beirut Station is Paul Vidich's best novel to date.
