Reviews for Lebanon: Levantine Calvary, 1958-1990
Venter was embedded with several of the combatants and had access to the major players in Lebanon. The text opens with a useful timeline and has been generously illustrated with photographs (many being the author's own), diagrams and maps. This is a concise, well-written monograph that takes its place in the coverage of the hotly contested Middle East.
