Book Reviews of Voice of Hezbollah: The Statements of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

Book Review: Great Insight
Summary: 5 Stars

This book does something extremely rare: it permits readers access to Hassan Nasrallah's words WITHOUT A BIASED INTERMEDIARY FILTERING THEM.

The book includes speeches, television and newspaper interviews, etc dating back to the mid-1980s. Nasrallah's words provide an incredible insight into his thoughts and motives and those of his resistance/terrorist movement (depending on your views).

I now have a greater understanding of Hizballah's interaction in Lebanon's domestic politics and its views toward Israel. The book is not a particularly easy read because it's more than 400 pages of speeches (doesn't "flow" like a novel). However, it is a great book that gives unfiltered information. This is NOT a beginner's book, as the editor's footnoted explanations are insufficient to educate a beginner. This is for the intermediate-to-serious student of Lebanon, the Arab-Israeli relationship, and Hizballah.

If you belong to that final category and want direct/unfiltered/unbiased information, I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

Summary of Voice of Hezbollah: The Statements of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

The first English translation of the statements of the leader of Lebanon?s ?Party of God,? in a comprehensive edition.

In July 2006, with the commencement of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the longstanding secretary general of the ?Party of God,? burst into the spotlight of the Western media ? cast, almost inevitably, as an even more dangerous incarnation of Osama bin Laden. Yet well before the start of the war, Nasrallah had acquired an almost unrivalled credibility in the Arab world among admirers and detractors alike, a profile that soared in May 2000 when he became the first leader to push Israel out of Arab land.

Voice of Hezbollah brings to an English-speaking readership for the first time Nasrallah?s speeches and interviews: the intricate, deeply populist arguments and promises that he has made from the mid-1980s to the present day. Newly translated from the Arabic, and with an introduction by one of the foremost writers on Lebanon, Voice of Hezbollah is critical to the understanding of the man and the movement.
