Beirut

This work is an excellent review of the history of Beirut throughout the ages. Kassir's work is well researched and referenced. Through his review of this ancient city's history, the author presents the reader with a comprehensive study of Levantine and Mediterranean events that influenced Beirut's history and its people.

Nice and easy book to read

I really enjoyed this book

The best work done on Beirut, a vastly researched work on the details of the city, its growth, lifestyle, economy and so much more. What makes this book stand out is the passion with which it was written with, the attention to detail for the small stories that made the story of this city so unique.

Valuable reading. Another MUST HAVE!!!

Fantastic book !

Accurato e struggente atto d'amore per questa città unica.Peccato la prefazione di Fisk. Saltatela a piè pari.

A wonderful book.

Very interesting book, deserving 5* classificationHowever, book arrived torn with bendings all over the cover. It was bought as new but it doesn't look like it.Also, estimated arrival was 2 business days after purchasing (which I payed more for) and arrived almost two weeks after.Terrible service from amazon
