by Cathy Sultan [one_third] Buy from Amazon.com Buy from Barnes and Noble Buy from IndieBound [/one_third][two_third_last] The Israeli-Hezbollah War of 2006 Cathy Sultan combines history and personal interviews to describe the lives of the oft-ignored civilians of southern Lebanon and northern Israel during the war in the summer of 2006 and its aftermath. These families and soldiers are victims of poor decisions by the governments of Israel, Lebanon, and the US. Sultan describes the polluting effects of clusterbombs and the importance of the tiny Shabba Farms area to Hezbollah. Different factions within the current Lebanese government leave it on the brink of more violence. One of Lebanon's refugee camps holds members of Fatah al-Islam, a Sunni militant group, despite efforts of the Lebanese army. Sultan also addresses media treatment of the war, dispelling common myths about the region. The book includes a timeline of Lebanese history, maps depicting violence around the area, and a glossary of Mid-East terms such as Hezbollah, Hamas, Shiite, and Sunni. [/two_third_last]
