Recenzje

'Israel and Hezbollah is such an insightful book that one is reluctant to point out any shortcomings. Undoubtedly, this excellent volume must be considered a key reference for historical points underlying the Israel–Hezbollah conflict and a prerequisite for Middle East studies, encouraging more studies that address the underlying causes of this conflict.' - Fatemeh Shayan, International Affairs, Vol. 88, 1, 2012
