Pamphlets

Pamphlets:

I've always admired the pamphlet as a form of argument -- it's quick, honest about its intentions, portable, and can be convincing if it is well done. It lends itself best to the polemic, another style I've always liked. This new endeavor, though, has chosen to begin its offerings with a collection of Totten dispatches from Lebanon.

Readers will recall that the various issues around Israel aren't one of my chief interests, but even I have read the Totten pieces. He's a great choice. Especially if you know family who are interested in the conflict and its repercussions, but who are unlikely to know of or encounter the 'new media,' you might consider these pamphlets. If you haven't read Totten's Lebanon writings, you might wish to do so yourself.
