“Al-Sharq al-Awsat” is publishing excerpts from Boutros Harb’s book *A Journey in the World of Wolves*, which surveys key moments in Lebanese political life between 1972 and 2025. Harb argues that Michel Aoun’s understanding with Hezbollah in 2006 paved the way for his election as president in 2016 and gave the party political cover for its weapons. During Aoun’s term, according to Harb’s account, the role of state institutions and the independence of the judiciary declined, while Gebran Bassil’s influence and deal-making grew. Harb also recounts Elias Hrawi’s election in 1989 and his efforts to end Aoun’s rebellion, concluding that reliance on Syria ultimately strengthened its tutelage over Lebanon and obstructed the restoration of the country’s sovereignty.
