Killing Mr Lebanon

As sectarian tensions mount in Lebanon following the 2006 summer war, one question threatens to ignite the Middle Eastern tinderbox. Who killed former Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri as he drove along the seafront on that fateful day in 2005? This book presents an account of how Beirut became once again the flashpoint of the Middle East.

Description

With an international tribunal about to be set up, the issue could drag Syria, Hezbollah, Iran, Israel and Hamas into a regional war.

In a much-acclaimed blend of investigative journalism, reportage, and storytelling, Nicholas Blanford draws on his unrivalled sources in Lebanon, Syria, and elsewhere to piece together the politics, personalities, and power struggles leading up to the assassination.

The paperback edition contains new interviews with key players who refused to speak at the time, casting some of the evidence in a dramatic new light.

Full of intrigue, shady characters, and suspense, Killing Mr Lebanon is the definitive account of how Beirut became once again the flashpoint of the Middle East.
