Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book contrasts Western media coverage of the Lebanese Shi`a with their own narrative constructed during the 1975-1985 time frame. Robert Tomlinson reveals how the coverage of a critical population in Lebanon was misrepresented and how that misrepresentation haunts Western media coverage of the group today. |
