Hezbollah: The Global Footprint of Lebanon's Party of God

Hezbollah: The Global Footprint of Lebanon's Party of God is the first thorough examination of Hezbollahâ€™s covert activities beyond Lebanonâ€™s borders, including its financial and logistical support networks and its criminal and terrorist operations worldwide.

Hezbollahâ€”Lebanonâ€™s "Party of God"â€”is a multifaceted organization: It is a powerful political party in Lebanon, a Shia Islam religious and social movement, Lebanonâ€™s largest militia, a close ally of Iran, and a terrorist organization. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including recently declassified government documents, court records, and personal interviews with intelligence and law enforcement officials around the world, Matthew Levitt examines Hezbollahâ€™s beginnings, its first violent forays in Lebanon, and then its terrorist activities and criminal enterprises abroad in Europe, the Middle East, South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and finally in North America. Levitt also describes Hezbollahâ€™s unit dedicated to supporting Palestinian militant groups and Hezbollahâ€™s involvement in training and supporting insurgents who fought US troops in post-Saddam Iraq. The paperback edition includes a new afterword by the author that updates the book for Hezbollah's role in the civil war in Syria, their ongoing shadow war with Israel, and for the trials of Hezbollah operatives accused of terrorist plots.
