This book documents in great specificity, and to date unchallenged detail, the hour by hour unfolding events of the September 15-18, 1982 massacre at Shatila Palestinian refugee camp in Beirut, Lebanon. The author took a leave of absence from his work as Assistance Counsel to the US House Judiciary Committee in Washington, DC to investigate this massive crime against humanity.
Lamb, who would later give testimony before the Israeli Kahan Commission in Jerusalem which found officials including Israeli Minister of Defense Ariel Sharon indirectly culpable, and censored others who were involved in facilitating the massacre, spent months documenting exactly what happened in Shatila camp during the three days of slaughter. This volume stands as an indictment of those in Lebanon and Israel who planned and carried out the massacre of approximately 3000 civilians.
The author Memorializes American journalist Janet Lee Stevens, with whom he fell in love during that fateful summer of 1982 and his Letter to Janet reveals a love story between two Americans who sought justice for Palestine and for all who are deprived of their basic human rights. And the tragedy of what happened to Janet Lee Stevens and their son, Clyde Chester Lamb III on another fateful date, April 18, 1983 when the US Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon was car bombed.
