It is an archive of history that does not dictate on you facts in a pre-drawn paths, but leaves it up to you to draw your own paths and deduce your conclusions. The French mandate, struggle for independence, the good old days of the early Seventies, the bitter years of civil war, and the resurrection, is all reflected here.
