Beware of Small States: Lebanon, Battleground of the Middle East

By David Hirst

Book Overview

ôBeware of small states,ö wrote the Russian anarchist Michail Bakunin, for they are the victims of greater states, yet a source of danger to them, too. Lebanon-a country half the size of Vermont-is the battleground on which the region's greater states pursue their strategic, political and ideological conflicts, conflicts that sometimes escalate into full-scale proxy wars.
