About Jean Nassar

I know well the history of Lebanon and the surrounding area, and can answer many questions about military history and tactics. Also, I know a lot of the space program. My information is not limited to 20th Century history, particularly in the area east of the Mediterranean.

Experience
Although I am still in school , I am an avid reader, and have taken an interest in my country's history (Lebanon), especially after the catastrophes of 2005 and 2006.
