Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, known as "Mr. Lebanon," was killed by a massive explosion as he drove along the Beirut seafront on Febrary 14, 2005. A business entrepreneur who rose from nothing to become one of the most powerful men in Lebanese politics, Hariri's assassination has incited outrage and suspicion. Nicholas Blanford investigates Hariri's past and uncovers a murky world of shifting alliances between businesses, the military, politicians, and diplomats. Based on exclusive interviews with key players, he traces the last weeks of Hariri's life and assesses his impact on Lebanese politics. Full of intrigue, shady characters, and suspense, Killing Mr. Lebanon brings to light what the Lebanese people have clamored for since Hariri's murder: "al haqiqa"--the truth.
