Nohra traded his guitar, basketball, and school uniform for an assault rifle and army fatigues when civil war erupted on the streets of Beirut. Within weeks, the cosmopolitan city known as the \"Paris of the Middle East\" became a killing field--neighbors turned into enemies, churches became outposts, and a teenager was forced to make life-and-death decisions no child should ever face. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot on Our Watch\u003c\/i\u003e is the visceral, deeply personal memoir of a boy soldier who delivered sandwiches to frontline bunkers under sniper fire, fought nighttime raids behind enemy lines, survived a tank blast, and wrestled with the moral weight of killing. It is also a love letter to the American Dream that saved him--and a stark warning that the polarization, dehumanization, and erosion of trust he witnessed in Lebanon are now taking root in the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing direct parallels between the forces that destroyed Beirut and the divisions fracturing American society today, Nohra offers an unforgettable, firsthand account of what happens when political rhetoric becomes civil war. His message is simple and urgent: it doesn't have to happen here--but only if we choose to stop it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot on Our Watch\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of war, survival, immigration, and hope--and a plea from someone who has lived through the nightmare that too many Americans believe could never come true.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuy P. Nohra is a war veteran, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, philanthropist, and speaker. Before immigrating to the United States, he fought as a militiaman in the Lebanese Civil War at the age of only fifteen. Though war had stolen much of his adolescence and assimilation was a difficult process, these trials taught him to be adaptable, hardworking, and to never settle, shaping him into the man he is today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter more than thirty-five years of experience as a venture capitalist, Guy now lives a life of service.
