Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in good condition. Some light tanning due to age. Hardcover. English. Pub Year 1989, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> In the decades after the Second World War, Beirut became an international centre of the Middle East, and the bar of the waterfront St George Hotel served as a meeting place and informal exchange for spies, politicians, businessmen, journalists, diplomats and oil sheikhs. Among its regular visitors were Kim Philby and CIA men Miles Copeland, Wilbur Crane Eveland and James Russell Barracks, alongside spies and diplomats from across the region.Drawing on Said Aburish?s long familiarity with the hotel?s milieu, the book describes a quarter-century of intrigues and conspiracies that influenced Middle Eastern and world politics. It examines the reporting, exploitation, manipulation and control of events conducted around the bar, including an attempt to overthrow King Hussein and the assassination of a Syrian president. The account presents the St George as a setting where political developments were discussed and shaped, and explores the stories behind the newspaper headlines. (SP).
