He describes how he established the student branch and became a member of the political bureau. He also reveals how Sheikh Pierre Gemayel managed the party, balancing the roles and responsibilities of his sons, Amin and Bashir, with the various factions within the party. Dr. Najjar details the political and military conflicts that began with the Cairo Agreement and the 1973 clashes with Palestinian militants, which paved the way for the war. He discusses the arming of Christian parties and a mediation effort Sheikh Pierre Gemayel entrusted him with, along with Brigadier General Raymond Eddé, to secure Eddé's candidacy for the presidency. Eddé declined, leading the party to support Elias Sarkis. Dr. Najjar delves into the details of Bashir Gemayel's military and political rise, how the party nominated him for the presidency, and how the choice fell on Sheikh Amin after his assassination. Najjar believes that General Michel Aoun made a strategic error in the Liberation and Elimination Wars. He reveals the reasons for Aoun's withdrawal from politics after 1990, his decision to assume the Ministry of Justice in 2008 to represent the Lebanese Forces, his reservations about the Special Tribunal for Lebanon's handling of the assassination of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, and how he nearly died in a car accident due to fears of assassination.
