The Sunni Tragedy in the Middle East by Bernard Rougier
Northern Lebanon is a land in turmoil. Long under the sway of the Assad regime in Syria, it is now a magnet for Sunni Muslim jihadists inspired by anti-Western and anti-Shi'a worldviews. The Sunni Tragedy in the Middle East describes in harrowing detail the struggle led by an active minority of jihadist militants, some claiming allegiance to ISIS,
One of Foreign Affairs' Best Books on the Middle East (Lebanon) 2016 "Rougier masterfully guides readers deep into the complex terrain of northern Lebanese politicsIt is a wondrous, if difficult, voyage."--Foreign Affairs "More than anything else, this volume amply illustrates the impossibly labyrinthine nature of armed politics in Lebanon... Rougier takes readers from the 1980s through the period of Syria's withdrawal of its forces from Lebanon after the assassination of Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in 2005... Rougier draws a striking picture of the chaos and dangers of the current situation."--Choice
