Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Popular Nasserist Organization - NPO or Organisation Populaire Nassérienne (OPN) in French, is a Sidon-based Nasserist party originally formed in 1973 by Maarouf Saad, a Sunni Pan-Arab politician and member of Parliament (MP) later killed by the Lebanese Army during a February 1975 dock strike held in that port city. The NPO's military wing, the National Liberation Army - NLA (Arabic: Jayish al-Tahrir al-Watani) or Armée de Liberation Nationale (ALN) was first raised in March 1975 at Sidon by Mustafa Saad, son of the late Maarouf. Trained and armed by Fatah, the NLA was initially financed by Yasser Arafat's organization and Libya, later replaced in the mid-1980s by the Sidon-born Saudi-Lebanese millionaire Rafic Hariri. A small but disciplinated fighting force, the NLA comprised some 500-1000 uniformed fighters organized into conventional 'Commando', Infantry, Signals, and Military Police branches.
