Book Synopsis


Trade Review
One of Foreign Affairs' Best Books on the Middle East (Lebanon) 2016 "Rougier masterfully guides readers deep into the complex terrain of northern Lebanese politics. It is a wondrous, if difficult, voyage."--Foreign Affairs "More than anything else, this volume amply illustrates the impossibly labyrinthine nature of armed politics in Lebanon... Rougier takes readers from the 1980s through the period of Syria's withdrawal of its forces from Lebanon after the assassination of Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in 2005... Rougier draws a striking picture of the chaos and dangers of the current situation."--Choice
