Even up to the eve of the civil war, some observers saw the
Lebanese system as essentially stable, and exhibiting some of the
virtues of liberty and pluralism which had been commended by the
French traveller de Volney a century before. But for others its
structure was so seriously flawed as to be resolved only by
revolution. The civil war resulted ultimately from a conglomeration
of interdependent factors - the religious conflict of Christian and
Shi'a Muslim, the social divisions exemplified in the 'Belt of
Misery' around Beirut, and the ethnic frictions between the Arab
host culture and the Occidentalised Maronites. This book, first
published in 1980, is a lively and incisive study of one of the
most ravaged countries of this generation.
