"[A] readable account of Hezbollah's rise by an experienced journalist, . . . [Jaber's work] gives a broad account of the origins of Hezbollah and its expanding influence." — Jon Van Camp, International Socialist Review

"Essential for any who would study the region's past, present, and possible futures." — Midwest Book Review: California Bookwatch

"This lively portrayal of Hezbollah goes behind the sensationalistic headlines to find out why and how Lebanon's Shi'ite population launched and maintained an effective, militant political movement. No other book tells the story so vividly or with such balance." — Richard Bulliet, author of Islam: A View from the Edge
