A John J. Markarian Memoir of the Lebanese Civil War and Educational Resilience

As civil war engulfed Beirut, founding president of Haigazian College Dr. John J. Markarian made an extraordinary decision: rather than fleeing, he invited local militia fighters and armed insurgents into his office for coffee. Markarian's personal memoir documents seven years of surviving shelling, sniper fire, and political chaos while maintaining a sanctuary for higher education in war-torn Lebanon.

Together with his wife Inge, Markarian shares a courageous story of cross-cultural dialogue, faith under fire, and the power of higher education amidst urban warfare.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Dr. John J. Markarian offers an eyewitness account of Middle Eastern history and civil conflict. A deeply inspiring memoir for readers interested in Lebanese history, international education, and peacebuilding.
