I Speak For Lebanon is the political testament of Kamal Joumblatt; a great Arab leader. Here he describes his political, military and social strategy during the Lebanese Civil War – a bitter conflict which is far from over. He draws on his experience as a religious leader, government minister, military commander and international negotiator to illuminate the complex panorama of Lebanon. His deep insights into the Maronite Christian leadership, the Palestinians, and the motivations of President Assad’s Syrian regime are especially revealing. The origins and development of the conflict are fully analysed in the context of regional politics, super-power objectives, and Lebanon’s diverse cultural heritage.
