Aoun’s Book

The polarization the General inspires is evident in the reviews of his new book which you can now purchase online. When this entry was written, 5 people “reviewed” the book on Amazon, 3 of whom voted 5 stars (best score), and 2 voted 1 star (worst score). Considering that the book was just launched, the reviewers’ judgment that it was “Pure démagogie” or “la modernité en personne” more likely depends on what they think of the person himself. Not the book.
