Description
Book SynopsisThese extraordinary memoirs give us a rare view into what the Arab-Israeli conflict has meant for one Palestinian family over the generations. Nusseibeh also interweaves his own story with that of the Palestinians as a people, always speaking his mind, and apportioning blame where he feels it due. Hated by extremists on both sides, his is a rare voice.

"Nusseibeh's formidable achievement¿ leaves a drop of despair, because of how exceptional it is." New York Times
