Matthew Levitt will discuss his book Hezbollah: The Global Footprint of Lebanon’s Party of God at the Leventhal-Sidman Jewish Community Center (333 Nahanton Street) in Newton on Thursday, November 21 at 7:30pm. His book is the first thorough examination of Hezbollah’s covert activities beyond Lebanon’s borders. Full of previously unreported material, it provides a much needed assessment of the threat posed by the group today.
