Lebanon

For the first time since the 1980s, Lebanon is now constantly on the front page of the world's media. This book seeks to explain the contemporary situation in Lebanon and how it affects the region and the world.

No country in the world has more political battles, military conflicts, and ethnic complexity per person and per square mile than does Lebanon. This book explains the issues, events, and personalities involved in one of the globe's most dramatic and important stories.

'A rare panoptical book on Lebanon, illustrating the country's complexity and exhilarating intangibles.' - Michael Young, Opinion Editor, The Daily Star, Lebanon
