416pp. Arabic text, hardback binding, edited and introduced by Salim Mujais and Badr El-Hage, index; footnotes; bibliography, copy new in mint condition. Only a few people are fully acquainted with the intellectual, literary and political works of Dr. Khalil Saadeh, father of Antoun Saadeh (founder of the Syrian Social Nationalist _x000d_ Party). Out of their awareness to the cultural and historical significance of Dr. Saadeh’s remnants, Badr el-Hage and Salim Mujaes have embarked on collecting the scattered articles and works of Saadeh in several volumes, with a view to honor the intellectual legacy of this man and revive the values and principles he espoused. The second volume entitled Syria and the French Mandate- 1920-1923 contains a series of the political articles written by Saadeh in Al-Jarida. In these articles, Khalil Saadeh launched a campaign against French occupiers, employing his pen and thoughts at the service of liberty and independence.
