Hezbollah: The Changing Face of Terrorism
By Judith Palmer Harik 224 Pages |PDF |Size : 2 MB
Description :
Hezbollah is second only to al Qaeda as a priority target in the War on Terror. The “Party of God”, as it is sometimes known, is an Iranian-backed Shi’ite fundamentalist organization which arose after the Lebanese civil war in 1982 in order to resist the Israeli invasion. Since the 1980s, Hezbollah has been regarded by the US as a terrorist organization. They have attempted in the past 10 years to transform themselves from a radical, clandestine militia to a mainstream political party with a resistance wing. This book traces the group’s origins, and how they have attempted to transform themselves. Judith Harik present a balanced debate about the struggle between Hezbollah and the US over whether or not they are a terrorist group, or a resistance force fighting Israeli occupation.
