Overview
Focusing on military-related developments 'Lebanese Civil War' dissects military forces, their equipment, intention and capabilities, and their combat operations. Formerly known as the 'Switzerland of the Middle East', an island of economic stability and social progress, Lebanon was shattered by a civil war that raged from 1975 until 1990. Pitting the central government against different factions and alliances of Christians, Sunni and Shi'a Muslims, leftists, and Syrian armed forces, this multifaceted conflict experienced a major escalation when Israel launched an invasion with the aim of destroying the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), in 1982. This book pays particular attention to military-related developments, and includes exclusive details and illustrations. AUTHORS: Sergio Santana is a Brazilian and working as military aviation and defence researcher since 2005. Tom Cooper is an Austrian aerial warfare analyst and historian. 98 b/w photos, 8pp colour plates, 5 b/w maps, 7 tables

Author Information
Sergio Santana is a Brazilian and working as military aviation and defence researcher since 2005. He holds a bachelor degree in aeronautical sciences and has penned and presented multiple research papers on congresses and seminars in his country. Except for publishing dozens of articles, he also authored a book about military variants of the Embraer EMB.145 jet. More recently, he specialised in research on intelligence-, surveillance-, and target acquisition aircraft, as well as little-known aspects of major armed conflicts. This is his first title for Helion’s @War series. Tom Cooper is an Austrian aerial warfare analyst and historian. Following a career in the worldwide transportation business – during which he established a network of contacts in the Middle East and Africa – he moved into narrow-focus analysis and writing on small, little-known air forces and conflicts, about which he has collected extensive archives. This has resulted in specialisation in such Middle Eastern air forces as of those of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, plus various African and Asian air forces. As well as authoring and co-authoring more than 50 books - including an in-depth analysis of major Arab air forces at wars with Israel in period 1955-1973 - and over 1000 articles, Cooper is editor of Helion's five @War series.
