Reviews | ||
An Excellent Book For the Study of Lebanon Beate Hamizrachi's book is an incredible addition to any library dealing with Israeli-Lebanese relations, the "Security Zone" or on the early SLA (South Lebanon Army). Hamizrachi details the first connections between Israeli and the northern (Mount Lebanon area) Christian militia groups and with southern villages. Her first hand interviews with Saad Haddad are both interesting and informative. She additionally talks in detail (including the force numbers and even the types of weapons used) about the battles fought by Haddad's militia to secure south Lebanon from the PLO and Islamo-Leftist forces. | ||
Based upon personal experiences of Yoram Hamizrachi. Yoram Hamizrachi certainly must have been the major co-author of this book attributed to his wife Beate. A historical record of conflicts in Lebanon during the 1970s based upon first hand knowledge. | ||
