520    With the exception of a few targeted aerial bombardments 
       of the city's port, Beirut and Mount Lebanon did not see 
       direct combat in World War I. Yet civilian casualties in 
       this part of the Ottoman Empire reached shocking heights, 
       possibly numbering half a million people. No war, in its 
       usual understanding, took place there, but Lebanon was 
       incontestably war-stricken. As a food crisis escalated 
       into famine, it was the bloodless incursion of starvation 
       and the silent assault of fatal disease that defined 
       everyday life. The Charity of War tells how the Ottoman 
       home front grappled with total war and how it sought to 
       mitigate starvation and sickness through relief 
       activities. Melanie S. Tanielian examines the wartime 
       famine's reverberations throughout the community: in 
       Beirut's municipal institutions, in its philanthropic and 
       religious organizations, in international agencies, and in
       the homes of the city's residents. Her local history 
       reveals a dynamic politics of provisioning that was 
       central to civilian experiences in the war, as well as to 
       the Middle Eastern political landscape that emerged post-
       war. By tracing these responses to the conflict, she 
       demonstrates World War I's immediacy far from the European
       trenches, in a place where war was a socio-economic and 
       political process rather than a military event.
