Rezensionen

An instructive and engaging study of Hezbollah as a non-state actor in Lebanon, Hadi Wahab's book will contribute to the debate in politics on armed and political movements in the Middle East. A truly excellent analysis of Hezbollah's activity in Syria in the last decade that ought to be read by students in the field as well as policy practitioners.

Sajjad Rizvi, Associate Professor of Islamic Intellectual History and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter, UK

Offering insights into the world of Lebanon's Hezbollah, serving as an Iranian proxy on the one hand and playing a critical political and social role in Lebanon on the other, Wahhab's analysis, based upon rarely-used sources, provides a trenchant view of this most important yet understudied actor in Middle East political life.
