Final conflict : the war in the Lebanon
"John Bulloch provides the first comprehensive account of the Israeli incursion into the Lebanon which began on 6 June 1982, eliminated the power base on the PLO, left 19,000 dead, 31,000 wounded and 60,000 homeless, and destroyed a quarter of Beirut, culminating three months later in the gruesome massacre at the Sabra and Chatila refugee camps. Final Conflict also explains the historical roots of the crisis: the power vacuum in the Lebanon which allowed the PLO to flourish; the deep divisions within Lebanese society between Christians and Moslems; rich and poor, Sunni and Shia; native Lebanese and Palestinian refugees; the role of Lebanon's two powerful neighbours, Syria to the east and Israel to the south; and finally the wider context of internatinal diplomacy, oil politics and super-power rivalry."--notes from dust jacket
