DescriptionFor 34 days in the summer of 2006, Israel invaded Lebanon to recover two kidnapped soldiers and break the power of Hizbullah, in the process attracting a mass of international attention. Rarely has such great significance been ascribed to a conflict so limited in scope and inconclusive in its outcome, which left both sides looking forward to a new war. As Lebanon continues to live on a knife-edge, David Hirst's masterly narrative of the recent war and its implications for the world is essential. An unresolved conflict, this could plunge the Middle East into a worse war than any it has suffered in the past fifty years. |
