Beware of Small States: Lebanon, Battleground of the Middle East - David Hirst
"Beware of small states," wrote Russian anarchist Michail Bakunin, for they are the victims of greater states, yet a source of danger to them, too. Lebanon—a country half the size of Vermont—might almost have been designed to be the "small state" of the Middle East. It is the battleground on which the region's greater states pursue their strategic, political and ideological conflicts—confl...
