In her new book, "The Best Kind of American," Lebanese journalist Kim Ghattas investigates the 1984 murder of Malcolm Kerr, president of the American University of Beirut, and explores how his assassination connects Lebanon's turbulent past to the Middle East's current crises. Ghattas and The World's Host Carolyn Beeler consider key junctures in 1980s Lebanon and discuss how the small country became an arena for so many competing forces.
