A propos de cet article

New York. 1982. December 1982. Knopf. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394530225. 168 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. keywords: History Lebanon Israel. DESCRIPTION - Israel's controversial invasion of Lebanon is the subject of Jacobo Timerman's harrowing book that unsparingly describes the impact of the war both on himself and on his country. Timerman - whose account of his imprisonment and torture in Argentina, PRISONER WITHOUT A NAME, CELL WITHOUT A NUMBER, was a national best seller in 1981 - had been living in Israel with his family since 1979 as this book begins and one of his sons leaves for the front. As the weeks pass and the war grows in intensity - the war that Israel's leaders had announced was to be over in days - Timerman visits the nearly destroyed cities of Sidon and Tyre, and becomes a witness to the carnage inflicted by the Israeli forces, as well as to the demonstrations being held inside Israel against the war. But this highly personal journal is most importantly an attempt to understand and come to terms with the largest issues: that Israel has become an aggressor; that Israel's actions hold the most serious implications for its own people and for Jews everywhere. In Timerman's view, General Ariel Sharon has proved himself a dangerous and cynical, if brilliant soldier, and Prime Minister Menachem Begin emerges as a hypocritical and ruthless chief of state - two men holding great power, pursuing a messianic concept of politics. And although he assails the brutality and terrorist tactics of the Palestine Liberation Organization, he refutes Begin's thesis that every act of aggression against Israel constitutes a continuation of the Holocaust. Finally, he mourns the loss of Israel's unique moral position among nations, as for the first time its government has launched a war that was not a response to provocation. Timerman foresees an erosion of the ethical base on which this remarkable country was founded. inventory #7020.…
