The Eternal War
The Eternal War chronicles the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict and thoroughly analyzes it from both a historical and psychological outlook. For the first time ever, an original and comprehensive plan for peace is presented. No other study on this subject offers such an emboldened and imaginative plan.
Lebanon at Mid-century
Reflects upon the origins of Lebanese independence movements in the nineteenth century, with particular emphasis on the Maronite Christian clergy's attempt to free the Lebanese province from Ottoman rule in 1841 and 1845, and the subsequent Turkish and Druze response in 1860. The author argues that although unsuccessful, the Maronite struggle for independence proved a prelude to Arab nationalism clearly identified by its anti-Ottoman content, concluding that the numerous animosities resulting from this early prototype of Arab nationalism can still be delineated in the recent Lebanese Civil War.

Khomeini, Islamic Fundamentalism and the Warriors of God
Popular and scholarly interest in the phenomenon of Islamic Fundamentalism, as depicted in the media, has continued to grow in intensity. Descriptions of "Islamic Terrorism" from around the world have damaged the image of Islam in the West. This study, sympathetic in tone, discusses the theory of Islamic Fundamentalism, the doctrine of Jihad, and offers an Islamic alternative from Islam's own past.
Lebanon in Modern Times
" ... An attempt to sketch the political history and meaningful events in the history of modern Lebanon"--Preface.
Survival and Triumph: The Maronite Christians of Lebanon
This study chronicles the evolution and history of the Maronite Church and Christians of Lebanon, from their controversial beginnings to the present. The book explicitly and significantly explains the survival of the Maronites caught in the hostile environment of the Middle East. Also it reconstructs the history of Lebanon and its Catholic Church within the context of the Lebanese state and indicates the importance of the Maronites to the region and well beyond.
Another Look
Another Look: One God and Three Faiths is a unique study of sacred history and monotheism. This book lends a refreshing sense of clarity to the misunderstandings between the three western religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Another Look compares the three faiths, emphasizing their similarities and differences. A. J. Abraham's research is prodigious, reconstructing religious roots with insight and originality. This comprehensive introduction will prove useful for both monotheists and followers of other religions
The Long Peace
Long notorious as one of the most turbulent areas of the world, Lebanon nevertheless experienced an interlude of peace between its civil war of 1860 and the beginning of the French Mandate in 1920. Engin Akarli examines the sociopolitical changes resulting from the negotiations and shifting alliances characteristic of these crucial years. Using previously unexamined documents in Ottoman archives, Akarli challenges the prevailing view that attributes modernization in government to Western initiative while blaming stagnation on reactionary local forces. Instead, he argues, indigenous Lebanese experience in self-rule as well as reconciliation among different religious groups after 1860 laid the foundation for secular democracy. European intervention in Lebanese politics, however, hampered efforts to develop a correspondingly secular notion of Lebanese nationality. As ethnic and religious strife increases throughout much of eastern Europe and the Middle East, the Lebanese example has obvious relevance for our own time.
