Description
Twenty-five years after first setting foot in Lebanon, Robert Fisk has revised his study of this troubled country for a third edition. This updated version includes events that have unfolded since its initial publication in 1990.
The book explores the complex history of Lebanon, from its creation as a French colony to the devastating effects of war and foreign invasion. Fisk's account focuses on the Israeli invasion of the early 1980s and its aftermath, including the tragic massacre at the Shabra and Chatila camps.
Banned in Lebanon itself, the book provides a powerful eyewitness account of combat and atrocity, shedding light on one of the most troubled regions in the Middle East. A gripping and thought-provoking read, Pity the Nation is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of this region.
