Ok so its sympathetic to Hisbullah but anyways, is it quite a good primer of info , so to speak, on it? It did come out in 1997 and I’m just thinking there’s more to it.

    I can’t speak on that one but “Hezbollah” by Augustus Richard Norton is good. Anna has it. You have to watch out for the authors and publishers when it comes to reading about Hezbollah. For me the general rule is no authors related to the anti-terrorism studies department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (seriously you will find several authors of books on Hezbollah from there), and Harvard / Columbia U Press is sus, much more so now than in '97 though.

    Norton is from the U.S. Army but that book is unbiased and factual.
