Lebanon: A House Divided

With a new introduction by the author, a seminal study of Lebanonâ€™s past, present, and future.
With the Westâ€™s economic and security interests increasingly at stake in the Middle East, it is impossible to ignore Lebanonâ€•a nation in all ways divided and tormented by the interplay between the West and the Arab world. Sandra Mackey delineates the multifarious culture that is Lebanon; carefully stripping away the complex stigmas of Lebanese politics, she brings each component into focus, priming readers on the conflicts between Sunni and Shia, Maronites and Druze, Christian and Muslim, Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization, Lebanon and Palestine, and Syria and Lebanon.

Covering Lebanonâ€™s history through the civil war of 1975Â89, and with a new introduction on recent developments, Mackey lays the groundwork needed to comprehend this often ill-understood countryâ€•offering insight into its role as the gateway between West and East, and bringing clarity of focus to the schisms that serve to divide and define Lebanon.
