Thanassis Cambanis, himself shrewd, brave, and determined, has produced A Privilege to Die, '' which shows us a Hezbollah with a human face that is nonetheless a grave threat both to Israel and Western interests in the Middle East. --The Boston Globe

An indispensable guide to understanding the region's most formidable extra-state actor. Cambanis skillfully pinpoints the reasons for Hezbollah's political success. . . . In prose that is often eloquent yet earthy, indicative of scholarly erudition as well as a storyteller's flair for capturing the complexities of human psychology, Cambanis describes the seemingly contradictory impulses he discovers. -- The Christian Science Monitor
