Subject:Al-Adab Special issue on War in Lebanon

Al-Adab's new issue:
The War on Lebanon
July-August-September
$15 (find below information on ordering the 3-month, 184-page issue)

This is the most comprehensive and panoramic account of how  
intellectuals
and activists, especially progressive ones, reacted to the recent  
Israeli
war
against Lebanon and the Islamic Resistance (July 12 - August 14,  
206). In
a vast file prepared by Al-Adab's editor-in-chief and co-edited by
  correspondents in Syria, Morocco, Egypt and Palestine, the war and
resistance are described and analyzed by leading intellectuals/ 
activists in
the Arab world
and abroad. In addition, the issue contains the first documented  
account of
the major companies that support Israel-- thus indispensable for any  
serious
anti-zionist activist. Furthermore, five separate studies deal with
the fake legecy of Rafiq Al-Hariri, Israeli "Peace groups" and war in
Lebanon,
Brammertz's fourth investigative report, the crisis of Arab nationalist
action, and how to pave a less belligerent path for the UN vis-a-vis the
Third World. Finally, brilliant war memoires and moving interviews with
survivors add lively and literary  taste to the issue. The contents are:
