Ending Civil War: Rhodesia and Lebanon in Perspective


Add your own review!

Overview

Matthew Preston returns politics to its rightful place at the heart of the study of internal conflict. Rejecting approaches that emphasise economics or ethnicity, this investigation of the wars in Rhodesia and Lebanon sets out the complex political dynamic that eventually brought each to an end. Above all, it demonstrates the robustness of local agendas in civil wars and the difficulties outsiders face in brokering settlements. With intervention in 'failed states' so high up the international agenda, the message is one that scholars and policy-makers can ill afford to ignore.

The use of evidence is very careful and the argument very clear. - David Keen, Reader in Complex Emergencies, London School of Economics; An excellent piece of work, which should find a wide readership not only in the disciplines of international relations and contemporay history, but also African and Middle Eastern area studies - Philip Robins, St Antony's College, Oxford AFRICAN HISTORY '..deftly constructs layered narratives that capture the complexity of civil wars without losing analytical focus.'
