The Story of Little Black Quasha

Bannerman, Helen

Children's Books

<p>First published in the mid-60s, this book is still the one by which all other counterinsurgency books are judged. Based on the author's successful experience in Malaya, and his subsequent advisory work for the Americans in Vietnam, his keys to victory and success have not changed with time:"It is a persistently methodical approach and steady pressure which will gradually wear the insurgent down. The government must not allow itself to be diverted either by countermoves on the part of the insurgent or by the critics on its own side who will be seeking a simpler and quicker solution. There are no shortcuts or gimmicks."</p>

The tragedy of Lebanon: Christian warlords, Israeli adventurers, and American bunglers

The Tragedy of Lebanon is a reissue of Jonathan Randal's acclaimed 1983 study of the rightwing Christian militias in Lebanon that in 1975 plunged the country into a decades-long cycle of war and civil conflict. For this 2012 reissue of the book, Randal added a piercing new Preface reflecting on the meaning of those events, both then and today. As the Senior Foreign Correspondent of The Washington Post, Randal covered Lebanon intensively from 1974 through 1983, having already reported from Vietnam and several other war zones. The Tragedy of Lebanon shows his powers of observation, astute analysis, and storytelling at their very best.
