Inchallah

I read this book a while ago, and it remains one of my favorites. It is about the 1982 Battle of Beirut written from the perspective of the Italian occupying troops who, along with the French and American troops, come alive in a jazz like crescendo that leaves the reader teared and breathless at the conclusion. Ms. Fallaci weaves a fiction with pathos and a distorted humanity that evolves from war. A must read.
