Analyses the war from June 1982, when Israel launched the invasion, to the massacre at Sabra and Chatila in September. It exposes Israel's longer-term ambitions for the extension of Greater Israel and the destabilisation of the whole region. Also looks at US policy at the time, and at the furore which the war provoked in Israel.
