Summary:	Young's book is a personal memoir of the post-2005 period in Lebanon, when the Cedar Revolution led to the pullout of the Syrian army from the country, kicking off a protracted period of domestic tension, invasions, civil war, assassinations, huge rallies, secret meetings, incessant scheming, and fear.
