One Family's Response to Terrorism : A Daughter's Memoir (Contemporary Issues in the Middle East)

On January 18, 1984, Malcolm Kerr, president of the American University of Beirul and a respected scholar of Middle East politics, was shot in the back of the head as he stepped out of an elevator on his way to work. ""One Family's Response to Terrorism"" is a stunning portrait of the intimate way in which violence pulls lives apart, of an American family caught on the stage of Middle East politics, and of the moral choices required in seeking justice.
