Description - Lebanese Civil War: Volume 1: Palestinian Diaspora, Syrian and Israeli Interventions, 1970-1978 by Sergio Santana
Focusing on military-related developments 'Lebanese Civil War' dissects military forces, their equipment, intention and capabilities, and their combat operations. Formerly known as the 'Switzerland of the Middle East', an island of economic stability and social progress, Lebanon was shattered by a civil war that raged from 1975 until 1990. Pitting the central government against different factions and alliances of Christians, Sunni and Shi'a Muslims, leftists, and Syrian armed forces, this multifaceted conflict experienced a major escalation when Israel launched an invasion with the aim of destroying the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), in 1982. This book pays particular attention to military-related developments, and includes exclusive details and illustrations. AUTHORS: Sergio Santana is a Brazilian and working as military aviation and defence researcher since 2005. Tom Cooper is an Austrian aerial warfare analyst and historian. 98 b/w photos, 8pp colour plates, 5 b/w maps, 7 tables
