Abstract
The personality of Hezbollah's third secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, and his militant path combine into a major element in the attraction the party holds for militants as well as supporters. Without question, Nasrallah has over the past years earned a place among the top leaders of the Arab world. Several Western commentators have described him for some time as a "second Che Guevara". Whether he arouses admiration and enthusiasm or insult and rejection, there is no denying that his career is now an integral part of the history of the Middle East. This chapter reconstructs the rise of Nasrallah's mature yet still evolving charisma. Setting the stage for this effort is as rigorous and detailed a biography of the man as possible, from his childhood until his accession to the post of secretary-general. From this indeed emerge sources of perception which then will lend themselves to an analysis of his charisma per se, starting from his appointment as secretary-general. From that point on, instead of charting a factual biographical course, the focus shifts to a change of perception that occurred among some of the public between 1992 and 2000.
