Words from Bashir: Understanding the Mind of Lebanese Forces Founder Bashir Gemayel from His Speeches
Bashir Gemayel personified a cause the Lebanese Christians fought for throughout their history: To live in Lebanon with complete freedom and security. After being elected President in 1982, Bashir was assassinated before he could take office. But his powerful words which inspired a nation remain. Bashir had a deep historical understanding of the cause he was fighting for as well as the geopolitics affecting it, and he combined that with exceptional communication skills. Bashir's most important speeches took place from 1979 to 1982. His speeches consisted of simple ideas in a simple language. He spoke with passion, charisma, logic, clarity, specificity, simplicity, and frankness, and used references and examples from everyday life. Unlike other leaders or presidents who used formal Arabic for their speeches, Bashir mostly used colloquial Lebanese which made him closer to the audience. This book presents his most important speeches, in English, with analysis.
