In this account of the carnage of Lebanon for over twenty years, the Independent's highly acclaimed Middle-Eastern correspondent, who has been based for thirty years in Beirut, combines war reporting, political analysis and historical assessment in a completely personal way. It is also an exposé of other countries' continual invasions resulting in political and military catastrophe, and the terrible price paid by its innocent population. Vital for an understanding of today's burning issues.
