Describes the origin and development of the current civil war in Lebanon, including the role of the United States, Israel and other foreign powers, from the perspective of a journalist with many years experience in the region
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The slow deterioration of a once proud and prosperous Lebanon is a picture that is chilling and confusing to participants and observers alike. Petran shows clearly and concisely how the present situation grew from precedents rooted in the 16th century: The territory labeled Lebanon has long been the home of many religious communities, with unique governments, educational systems, and social institutions. Petran offers no solution to what appears to be regression into the feudalism of a historically distintegrated Lebanon. But his compelling and ominous account carefully portrays all the playersbe they foreign (super)powers, organizations, social and religious forces, individuals, or circumstancesand weaves them into the landscape that is Lebanon today. Highly recommended for most libraries. David P. Snider, Casa Grande P.L., Ariz.
