My friends, I must insist upon this rule. For it is only through the sharing of the personal that we can see each other for who we truly are.
J. T. Rogers, Oslo

Beirut, October 14, 1985
T his was the moment that the Achille Lauro entered the consciousness of five-year-old Omar Abbas, younger son of Samia Costandi, first wife of Mohammed Zaidan, better known as Abu al-Abbas, commander of the Palestinian Liberation Front.
The telephone in their apartment rang and Omar heard his grandmother say, Hello, Nabeel, did you finish your PhD? And then his mother, Samia, told him and his older brother, Khaled, to come say hello to Baba, their father, but to pretend he was their uncle, Samias brother, Nabeel. Omar could tell from his mothers face that this was very serious.
Hello, Uncle Baba, he said.
The five-year-olds failure at subterfuge would become part of family lore. For Samia, the call signaled that her ex-husband, Abu al-Abbas, was safe. For Omar, the conversation was merged into the mythology that would always surround his father, a towering figure who instilled in his sons a permanent sense of longing.
The divorce had been modern, granting custody to Samia with visiting rights for their father. During the year Omar and Khaled lived with their mother in Beirut, close to their maternal grandparents, in Hamra, a lively neighborhood full of cafs where intellectuals and activists mingled to discuss poetry and philosophy and politics amid the chaos of a decades ongoing sectarian violence. Samia taught English as a second language close by, at Beirut University College, her alma mater.
Omar felt safe and protected, even though he knew there was a civil war and he remembered times when there would be explosions sounding like fireworks that meant his family had to hide in the stairwell with neighbors. His mom brought a blanket and snacks; for the kids, it was an indoor picnic, even though they knew the fireworks were bombs.
