How has Hezbollah, which has now won two wars with Israel, managed to become the most dynamic movement in the Islamic world, why do millions share its beliefs, and what do they want? The Islamic revolutionary movement has become the most powerful source of radical militancy in the Middle East, forging a mass following and global appeal.
Hezbollah offers the first close look at the men and women whose fervor has made Lebanon’s Party of God the gold standard for violent movements across the region and the world.
Through deep and vivid portraits of men and women who do Hezbollah’s grassroots work—on the battlefields, in politics, in nightclubs, and with scout troops—Cambanis, a veteran Middle-East correspondent, puts a human face on the movement that has ushered in a militant renaissance and inspired fighters in Gaza, the West Bank, Egypt, Iraq, and beyond. An urgent and important explanation of Middle Eastern militancy, this book is required reading to fully understand Hezbollah’s grave threat to Israel and the west. Ominously, he is predicting another war with Israel soon, and another victory.
