"Martyr Syria", written in 1925 by Şekip Arslan, a famous Arab intellectual who witnessed the massacres committed by the French Mandate in Syria in the 1920s, came from a Druze family from Beirut and was known as Emîrü'l-beyân (Prince of Eloquence). The book seems to describe today. With this book, Arslan, who was also the Lebanese Deputy in the last Ottoman Parliament, mirrors the troubles and sufferings of the innocent people in Syria under the French mandate 89 years ago.
