In April of 1975, Lebanon, the tranquil Middle Eastern country
called the Switzerland of the Orient, exploded into a violent
conflict that lasted almost two decades. This book explores the
convoluted politics and forces within Lebanon and the Near East
that made the atmosphere in that tiny republic highly charged, thus
inhibiting conflict resolution. This comprehensive study describes
the strategies, battles, and conferences that kept Lebanon aflame,
despite the best efforts of all concerned parties to terminate the
bloodshed. Abraham looks at Lebanon from the inside-out,
highlighting the conflicting politics of Lebanese leaders, the
failure of the democratic left to take over the state, and the
underlying problem of the PLO's presence in the country.
