Description
First published in 1996, "Lebanon: A Shattered Country" is a study of the evolution of that country, from before its founding and into the mid-1990s. Picard precisely and impartially analyses the causes and effects of the civil wars that wracked Lebanon from 1975 to 1990 - what and who were destroyed, which powers have predominated, and to whose benefit. This revised and expanded edition assesses a decade of post-war physical and political reconstruction in the country and adds a new chapter that deals with the regional scene, particularly negotiations with Israel and relations with Syria. This lays out clearly the price Lebanon has paid for its international survival.
