Caraktere publishing is pleased to announce the release of "UNIFIL / FINUL - Tanks and maintenance of peace in Southern Lebanon - 1978 / 2011", written by Thomas Seignon and to be published on June 30th, 2015.
Deployed for the first time in 1978 in reaction to the climate of tension in the Middle-East region, the UNIFIL has never stopped to restore the Lebanese government’s effective authority, while working at return to the international peace, supervising the withdrawal of Tsahal from Southern Lebanon.

Armor officer, the author acted as Head of the UNIFIL Liaison Office from 2010 till 2011, having not only access to all the contingents of the mission but also, much rarer privilege, to both belligerent parties. He was able to photograph and study, on a reduced but complex theatre of operations, a huge variety of armored vehicles.

It’s all the originality of this document that, beyond a technical approach of the vehicles deployed in the region, also has the ambition to make you better perceive all the difficulty of a peacekeeping missions. "

UNIFIL / FINUL - Tanks and maintenance of peace in southern Lebanon - 1978 / 2011
