بيروت والزمن: قراءة في ثلاثية ربيع جابر بيروت مدينة… door Kamal Salibi
احبطني ألا يضيف المؤرخ بعدا أكثر عمقا لما كتبه الراوي في ثلاثيته اكثر من مجرد تلخيص واقتباس ثم تعقيب مقتضب ومختصر!!!
I first found out about this book when I finished reading Steve Berry's " The Alexandria Link ". In the author's notes he mentioned this as the main work where he got his main idea of the novel.
And since I take my history fiction seriously and not just after the action but mostly the historic facts, I started looking for this book, and I found it after some searching.
