Distant Relations: Iran and Lebanon in the last 500 years. edited by Houchang Chehabi. Highly recommended for the background to the creation of Hizballah.

No one has mentioned David Gilmour, The Fractured Country. Has anyone read this? I have dipped in and appears very knowledgeable but rarely gets a mention.

We don’t know if she copied Friedman’s book, but I think Friedman should be honored if she did copy the title of his book, or if she didn’t, he should be honored by the amazing coincidence.

That is really interesting that Dr. Ang Swee’s book is interesting. I have to admit I did not give it the time of day because I assumed she stole the title of the book from Friedam? Why would you name your book after an already famous book on Lebanon??
