Fire in Beirut: Israel's war in Lebanon with the PLO

---

From access to sources inside Israel, Washington, and powers hostile to Israel, this is a uniquely knowledgeable and dramatic account of the causes and conduct of the war and its aftermath.

Fire in Beirut describes how and why Israel moved into Lebanon in 1982 after years of clashes between local and foreign forces had destroyed what was once known as "the Swit- zerland of the Middle East." It details how Syria and the PLO took advantage of the inter- necine warfare to paralyze Lebanon's govern- ment and take control of vast areas of that country. It also tells how and why Lebanese forces sought an alliance with the Israelis who, they hoped, would expel the foreigners. The book highlights the battles and siege of Beirut, where 15,000 PLO fighters held 500,000 Lebanese hostage.

The interests of the United States, and the Soviet Union's deep involvement in the Mid- dle East, are scrutinized in light of the conse- quences of the war. The book also reviews the special American-Israeli relationship before, during, and after the hostilities.
