Book Synopsis The Lebanese Forces by : Nader Moumneh
Download or read book The Lebanese Forces written by Nader Moumneh and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-12-19 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, author Nader Moumneh–a Canadian senior policy adviser of Lebanese descent– examines the research of the formation and evolution of the Christian resistance in Lebanon he performed as a graduate student at the American University of Beirut in the early 1990s. He has conducted hundreds of lengthy interviews with senior Lebanese Forces leaders who were thoroughly impressed by his communicative yet assertive personality, his scrupulous presentation of facts, his obsessive attention to detail, and most importantly, his unwavering determination to unveil behind-the-scenes events. Mr. Moumneh drew upon his self-acquired persuasion tactics and negotiation strategies to earn the Lebanese Forces’ trust and gain access to top secret, never-before published information. Since then, he has continually revised and expanded the manuscript to address the rapidly changing situation in Lebanon and the Middle East. The Lebanese Forces: Emergence and Transformation of the Christian Resistance has taken twenty-five years to produce and is unique in its own right. Mr. Moumneh’s work is not a typical re-telling of the Lebanese crisis, rather it is a magnificent blend of skillful craftsmanship, an unprecedented wealth of painstakingly referenced chronological research and now declassified intelligence information.

Book Synopsis Civil-Military Relations in Lebanon by : Are John Knudsen
Download or read book Civil-Military Relations in Lebanon written by Are John Knudsen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-31 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines Lebanon’s post-2011 security dilemmas and the tenuous civil-military relations. The Syrian civil war has strained the Lebanese Armed Forces’ (LAF) cohesion and threatens its neutrality – its most valued assets in a divided society. The spill-over from the Syrian civil war and Hezbollah’s military engagement has magnified the security challenges facing the Army, making it a target. Massive foreign grants have sought to strengthen its military capability, stabilize the country and contain the Syria crisis. However, as this volume demonstrates, the real weakness of the LAF is not its lack of sophisticated armoury, but the fragile civil–military relations that compromise its fighting power, cripple its neutrality and expose it to accusations of partisanship and political bias. This testifies to both the importance of and the challenges facing multi-confessional armies in deeply divided countries.
Download or read book The Lebanese Army written by Oren Barak and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2009 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Oren Barak sheds new light on the major political and social developments in Lebanon since its independence by focusing on the emergence of the Lebanese Army, its paralysis during the civil war from 1975 to 1990, and its reconstruction after the war. He discusses the remarkable transformation of a military dominated by one sector of society—the Christian communities, and particularly the Maronites—into one that is characterized by power sharing among Lebanon's various communities, large families, and regions. The book develops a new approach to the study of the role of the military in divided societies by examining military institutions from three intertwined angles: first, as major arenas for social coexistence and conflict; second, as actors that are involved in politics but are also affected by political processes; and third, as actors that promote the process of state formation. This comprehensive look at Lebanon will inform the discussion of other divided societies, such as Afghanistan and Iraq, that face the dual challenge of restoring the political system and the security sector after state failure and intrastate conflict.

Book Synopsis Warfare in Lebanon by : Kenneth J. Alnwick
Download or read book Warfare in Lebanon written by Kenneth J. Alnwick and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To better understand the nature of the sectarian warfare in Lebanon, the National Defense University's Institute for National Strategic Studies and the Central Intelligence Agency co-sponsored a workshop on the Lebanese situation, examining it particularly as an illustration of what is often called 'low-intensity conflict'. This examination, though revealing no easy solution, has clarified the issues in the war, including the complex motives behind Syria's sometimes contradictory actions toward Lebanon. This ... analysis of the Lebanon tragedy examines the major problems the civil war poses for Western policymakers. It treats Lebanon as a possible model for understanding low-intensity conflict elsewhere in the Third World. From such analysis and understanding, the major powers can learn better ways to help resolve similar conflicts"--Foreword.

Book Synopsis The Emergence and Transformation of the Lebanese Forces in Wartime Lebanon by : Nader Mohammad Zouhair Moumne
Download or read book The Emergence and Transformation of the Lebanese Forces in Wartime Lebanon written by Nader Mohammad Zouhair Moumne and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first part of the thesis addresses the evolution of the Kataeb Party from independence in the 1940s until the outbreak of war in 1975. The second part deals with the emergence and evolution of the Lebanese Forces from 1975-76 to 1988. The Lebanese Forces evolved in four phases. The first phase (1976-1980) witnessed the creation of a unified command council for the Christian militias. The second phase began with the "July 7th Corrective Movement" in 1980 and was marked by the ascendancy of Bashir Gemayel to the presidency. This phase ended with the assassination of President-elect Gemayel in September 1982. The third phase (1982-1986) was characterized by a dual power struggle: one between President Ajnin Gemayel who controlled the Kataeb Party and the leadership of the Lebanese Forces, and the other between Elie Hobeika and Samir Geagea the two leading figures in the Lebanese Forces. Finally, the fourth phase (1986-1988) began with the Geagea-led rebellion against forces led by Elie Hobeika. Three weeks earlier, Hobeika along with the Amal militia leader Nabih Berri and Druze leader Walid Junblatt signed the Tripartite Agreement in Damascus. This period was marked by the consolidation of power by Samir Geagea within the Christian regions and the systematic institutionalization of the Lebanese Forces.
Book Synopsis The Lebanese Forces and the Ta'if Accord by : Marie-Joëlle Zahar
Download or read book The Lebanese Forces and the Ta'if Accord written by Marie-Joëlle Zahar and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis addresses the determinants of militia decision-making. Focussing on the Lebanese Forces (LF), the major Christian militia in Lebanon's Civil War, it analyses the motives which drove the LF to accept the Ta'if Accord--an acceptance that stands in stark contrast to its rejection of two earlier settlement blueprints, the Lausanne talks and the Tripartite Agreement. Steering away from the literature's focus on ideology as the prime mover of militias, the research explores other dimensions of militia decision-making, notably the impact of inter-communal power struggles, of the extra-communal balance of power, and of the international setting. Particular attention is given to the impact of the process of institutionalization. By rendering decisions more sensitive to cost-benefit and other prasmatic considerations, institutionalization is insruumental in bringing the more hawkish of militias to the negotiation table and in opening a window of opportunity for lasting conflict resolution." --
Book Synopsis Words from Bashir by : Bashīr Jumayyil
Download or read book Words from Bashir written by Bashīr Jumayyil and published by . This book was released on 2009-05-10 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bashir Gemayel personified a cause the Lebanese Christians fought for throughout their history: To live in Lebanon with complete freedom and security. After being elected President in 1982, Bashir was assassinated before he could take office. But his powerful words which inspired a nation remain. Bashir had a deep historical understanding of the cause he was fighting for as well as the geopolitics affecting it, and he combined that with exceptional communication skills.Bashir's most important speeches took place from 1979 to 1982. His speeches consisted of simple ideas in a simple language. He spoke with passion, charisma, logic, clarity, specificity, simplicity, and frankness, and used references and examples from everyday life. Unlike other leaders or presidents who used formal Arabic for their speeches, Bashir mostly used colloquial Lebanese which made him closer to the audience. This book presents his most important speeches, in English, with analysis.
Book Synopsis Rebuilding Armed Forces by : Florence Gaub
Download or read book Rebuilding Armed Forces written by Florence Gaub and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security Force Assistance becomes more and more important not only in the post-conflict reconstruction process, but also in a more general way in the foreign policy of the United States. Looking into the experience of both Iraq and Lebanon, this monograph offers useful insights for future military assistance programs and reconstruction efforts. While current assistance programs are certainly of high quality in technical terms, this publication sheds light on the equally important, yet often overlooked social dimension. Elements such as ethnic composition, exclusion of politically compromised personnel, and the armed forces' image in society will determine the military's future success just as much as technical training. How to improve these aspects is explained in this analysis.

In the midst of this explosive atmosphere, cross-border conflict between Israel and Lebanon intensified, culminating in Operation Peace for Galilee the invasion of Lebanon.

Book Synopsis Frontiers and Ghettos by : James Ron
Download or read book Frontiers and Ghettos written by James Ron and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2003-05-19 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Ron uses controversial comparisons between Serbia and Israel to present a novel theory of state violence. Formerly a research consultant to Human Rights Watch and the International Red Cross, Ron witnessed remarkably different patterns of state coercion. Frontiers and Ghettos presents an institutional approach to state violence, drawing on Ron's field research in the Middle East, Balkans, Chechnya, Turkey, and Africa, as well as dozens of rare interviews with military veterans, officials, and political activists on all sides. Studying violence from the ground up, the book develops an exciting new framework for analyzing today's nationalist wars.
