The book delves into the earliest known settlements in ancient Lebanon, dating back to the Neolithic period. Through meticulous research and archaeological evidence, Muhanna traces the development of early civilizations, such as the Phoenicians, who established a thriving maritime empire and left an indelible mark on Mediterranean trade and culture.

After the end of the civil war, Lebanon embarked on a path of reconstruction and reconciliation. Muhanna analyzes the efforts to rebuild the country's infrastructure, promote economic recovery, and foster dialogue and understanding among different communities. He highlights the successes and challenges of this process, offering a unique perspective on post-conflict recovery.
