A Privilege to Die: Inside Hezbollah's Legions and Their Endless War Against Israel

HOW HAS HEZBOLLAH, WHICH HAS NOW WON TWO WARS WITH ISRAEL, managed to become the most dynamic movement in the Islamic world, why do millions share its beliefs, and what do they want? The Islamic revolutionary movement has become the most powerful source of militancy in the Middle East, forging a mass following and global appeal. A Privilege to Die offers the first on-the-ground look at the men and women whose fervor has made Lebanonâ€™s Party of God the gold standard for radical movements across the region and the world.

Through deep and vivid portraits of those who do Hezbollahâ€™s grassroots workâ€”on the battlefields, in politics, in nightclubs, and with scout troopsâ€”Thanassis Cambanis, a veteran Middle-East correspondent, puts a human face on the movement that has ushered in a belligerent renaissance and inspired fighters in Gaza, the West Bank, Egypt, Iraq, and beyond. This riveting, remarkable narrative provides an urgent and important exploration of militancy in the Middle East.
