Couverture de Hezbollah: A Short History par Augustus Richard Norton

Résumé

Most policymakers in the United States and Israel have it wrong: Hezbollah isn't a simple terrorist organization - nor is it likely to disappear any time soon. Following Israel's war against Hezbollah in the summer of 2006, the Shi'i group - a hybrid of militia, political party, and social services and public works provider - remains very popular in the Middle East. After Lebanon tottered close to disaster, Hezbollah and its allies gained renewed political power in Beirut. The most lucid, informed, and balanced analysis of the group yet written, "Hezbollah" is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the Middle East. A new afterword brings readers up to date on Hezbollah's most recent actions.
