Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"This impressive book reflects a lifetime of immersion in Palestinian history, and as a result, throws a great deal of new light on many aspects of Palestinian society and politics. Moshe Shemesh adds new facts and insights to virtually every major episode in the forty-year period he covers."—Avi Shlaim, author of The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World

"The web of relationships woven by Palestinians—leaders and ordinary subjects of regimes that felt embattled and weak—was extraordinarily complicated and often changed as swiftly as did the regimes. Moshe Shemesh unravels these complexities and all students of the Middle East, no matter their background, will benefit."—Donna Robinson Divine, author of Exiled in the Homeland: Zionism and the Return to Mandate Palestine
