Summary: A piece of lousy propaganda
Review: I'm obviously partisan here. As a jew, Emile Lahad (as one of the few non-jews to fight for israel) was a hero of mine, and I cannot forgive Soha Bechara for trying to murder him. To be honest, I can't feel a shred of pity for her-though much as I relish the thought of her being tortured, I could not bring myself to personally participate in it.
This book is a lousy piece of propganda, which makes no attempt whatsoever to appear remotely even-handed. Her violent act undermines any attemt to portray herself as one who abhors violence - and undermines, rather than helping, the obtaining of peace in either lebanon or the rest of the middle east. Sohara, if you truly believe in nonviolence, use it.

Summary: A true Resistance
Review: Soha Bechara is a true example of resistance movements heroes. She embodies the example of a Lebanese woman who fought for the Liberty of her occuied land. She exposes the savagery that the Israelis and their Lebanese allies have inflicted on her and all the captured resistance members. This book reminds me of the freedom fighters who fought with Charles De Gauls against Nazi Germans. This book is the story of every resistance member that stood up agaisnt tyrany and against the betrayal of one's own land.
