Explores the differing mythologies of the Maronite, Druze and Sunni communities that led to a brutal clash in Lebanon in 1958. This work offers a fresh perspective on a period in Lebanese history often seen as the product of international friction between pan-Arab nationalism and the growing threat to Western hegemony during the Cold War.
