Its chronology leaves something to be desired, but the book has brilliant writing and tells its awful story well. It shows American policy as naive and blundering--e.g., the New Jersey shelling of a Shiite village engendered great hatred of the US and fueled the hostage-taking which still haunts us today [1990}. Someday the horror of Lebanon today will end, but 1975 to 1990 has been a horrible time. The book seems so "immediate" because my son-in-law is so intimately connected with the whole period--he arrived in the US on July 4, 1979. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Placing the Lebanese conflicts in the broader context of the struggles between Western and Arab identities, the author examines the influence of foreign countries in Lebanon and the rise of fundamentalist Islamic groups. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
