description: Examines the relationship between the Zionist/Israelis and the Lebanese Maronites in the period 1920-1984, from the establishment of Lebanon until the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in the aftermath of the 1982 invasion. Concentrating on the Zionist /Israel end of this relationship, the author analyzes the minority-alliance within the context of the Arab-Israel conflict and superpower rivalry in the Middle East. She argues that Israel has pursued an active policy of intervention in the domestic politics of Lebanon through the alliance with the Maronites. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
