Jonathan Randal has reported from Beirut since the 1975-76 civil war, and in this newly updated edition he analyzes recent events which have, if anything, made the plight of that unhappy country more insoluble than ever. Foreign troops - Syrian, Israeli, Iranian - still occupy much of the country; the intractable General Aoun (the extraordinary circumstances of whose rise to power are described in detail) broods among the ruins of the presidential palace and the fate of the Western hostages sporadically draws the attention of the world's press. Meanwhile the calamitous exodus of the Lebonese population continues unabated. Combining the immediacy of front line reporting with the historian's wider perspective, this is an account of a turbulent and unfamiliar world.
