8.30 Faultlines - Lebanon

Allan Little revisits a programme first broadcast in May. Lebanon sits among some of the strongest cross-currents of history that have pulled the country over the years into a vortex of war and mayhem. Allan Little examines why its beguiling cultural and religious pluralism has dragged it towards destruction once more. What are the faultlines that have again become battle lines? Producer Jane Beresford (Revised rpt)
