In April of 1975, Lebanon, the tranquil Middle Eastern country called the Switzerland of the Orient, exploded into a violent conflict that lasted almost two decades. This book explores the convoluted politics and forces within Lebanon and the Near East that made the atmosphere in that tiny republic highly charged, thus inhibiting conflict resolution. This comprehensive study describes the strategies, battles, and conferences that kept Lebanon aflame, despite the best efforts of all concerned parties to terminate the bloodshed. Abraham looks at Lebanon from the inside-out, highlighting the conflicting politics of Lebanese leaders, the failure of the democratic left to take over the state, and the underlying problem of the PLO's presence in the country.

The Eternal War chronicles the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict and thoroughly analyzes it from both a historical and psychological outlook. But it is much more that that-this book is the only study that focuses on all the issues from a Palestinian and Israeli viewpoint, as well as that of the Arab States. And, for the first time ever, Abraham presents an original and comprehensive plan for peace that gives all the parties much of what they want (but not everything they want) for successful negotiations and the achievement of a just and lasting peace. No other study on this subject offers such an emboldened and imaginative plan.

The Cross And The Crescent: An Ecumenical Perspecitive is an analytical study of Christianity and Islam and a look at their relationship to one another. It is also much more. This study differs from all other works on the subject by tracing the differences in belief between the two great religions to matters of interpretation rather than substance. It is written to introduce both Christians and Moslems to each other's faith, without any bias or preconditions, or and preconcieved notions. The main theme of this work is the relationship of the two great faiths both historically and spiritually. The introduction views the Islamic theories of revelation as well as the Christian theory and sets the tone for the study in a genuine ecumenical spirit.
