Will the Real Antun Sa’adeh Please Step forward! Dr. Adel Beshara
In 1930, at still an unidentifiable date, a steam ship sailed into Beirut with immigrants returning to catch up with friends and relatives. Among them was a young man in his mid-twenties. He was no different from anyone else on the ship except in his outward appearance. His travel documents identified him as Antun Khalil Sa’adeh, a former resident of Mount Lebanon, and an émigré of almost ten years.
