Eine wahre und faszinierende Geschichte von Deutschami , 18.06.2006

"To Beirut and Back" is a very personal account of the author's experiences doing business - and living - abroad during the turbulent 70's: in the US, Canada, Germany, Greece during the dictatorship of Papadopoulos, and the Middle East just before and at the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War. Mr. March also captures the sense of larger events surrounding him which had a real impact on his private life. This book serves to remind one that "no man is an island."
