📱 eBook en inglés HIZBULLAH

Hizbullah (Party of God) is one of the Middle Easts major political forces. Sheikh Naim Qassem, its Deputy Secretary-General, provides an insiders view of this Shiite resistance group turned political party, from its inception to the present day. Formed in 1982 in response to Israels invasion of Lebanon, Hizbullah was instrumental in forcing Israel to withdraw its troops in 2000. During the 1990s, after many years functioning as both a guerrilla movement and a social-support provider to Lebanese victims of war, Hizbullah moved into mainstream parliamentary politics. The groups mandate is laid out here, allowing access to the mindset of this important party at a crucial stage of its development.
