Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark volume presents vivid and intimate portraits of Palestinian Presidents Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas, revealing the impact these different personalities have had on the struggle for national self-determination. Arafat and Abbas lived in Palestine as young children. Uprooted by the 1948 war, they returned in 1994 to serve as the first and second presidents of the Palestinian Authority, the establishment of which has been the Palestine Liberation Organization's greatest step towards self-determination for the Palestinian nation. Both Arafat and Abbas were shaped by earlier careers in the PLO, and each adopted their own controversial leadership methods and decision-making styles. Drawing on primary sources in Arabic, Hebrew and English, Klein gives special attention to the lesser known Abbas: his beliefs and his disagreements with Israeli and American counterparts. The book uncovers new details about Abbas' peace talks and US foreign policy towards Palestine, and analyses the political evolution of Hamas and Abbas' succession struggle. Klein also highlights the tension between the ageing leader and his society. Arafat and Abbas offers a comprehensive and balanced account of the Palestinian Authority's achievements and failures over its twenty- five years of existence. What emerges is a Palestinian nationalism that refuses to disappear.

Download or read book Yasser Arafat written by United Library and published by . This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delve into the complex life and legacy of Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian political leader who played a pivotal role in the quest for Palestinian self-determination. Born in August 1929 in Cairo, Arafat embraced Arab nationalism and anti-Zionist ideals during his student years at the University of King Fuad I. His opposition to the creation of the State of Israel led him to fight in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War alongside the Muslim Brotherhood. Arafat co-founded the paramilitary organization Fatah in the late 1950s, aiming for the establishment of a Palestinian state. As Fatah's influence grew, Arafat joined the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1967 and became its chairman in 1969. The group faced conflicts in Jordan and later relocated to Lebanon, engaging in military clashes with Israel. In the 1980s, Arafat shifted towards negotiation, acknowledging Israel's right to exist and endorsing a two-state solution. His return to Palestine in 1994 marked a new phase, involving negotiations such as the Oslo Accords. Despite being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 alongside Israeli leaders, Arafat faced criticism, with his support declining in the face of rivals like Hamas. This biography explores Arafat's controversial image-seen as a martyr by Palestinians, labelled a terrorist by Israelis, and criticized by some Palestinian factions for perceived shortcomings. His death in 2004, after years of confinement by the Israeli army, left a complex and contested legacy in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Download or read book The Good Spy written by Kai Bird and published by Crown. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Good Spy is Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Kai Bird’s compelling portrait of the remarkable life and death of one of the most important operatives in CIA history – a man who, had he lived, might have helped heal the rift between Arabs and the West. On April 18, 1983, a bomb exploded outside the American Embassy in Beirut, killing 63 people. The attack was a geopolitical turning point. It marked the beginning of Hezbollah as a political force, but even more important, it eliminated America’s most influential and effective intelligence officer in the Middle East – CIA operative Robert Ames. What set Ames apart from his peers was his extraordinary ability to form deep, meaningful connections with key Arab intelligence figures. Some operatives relied on threats and subterfuge, but Ames worked by building friendships and emphasizing shared values – never more notably than with Yasir Arafat’s charismatic intelligence chief and heir apparent Ali Hassan Salameh (aka “The Red Prince”). Ames’ deepening relationship with Salameh held the potential for a lasting peace. Within a few years, though, both men were killed by assassins, and America’s relations with the Arab world began heading down a path that culminated in 9/11, the War on Terror, and the current fog of mistrust. Bird, who as a child lived in the Beirut Embassy and knew Ames as a neighbor when he was twelve years old, spent years researching The Good Spy. Not only does the book draw on hours of interviews with Ames’ widow, and quotes from hundreds of Ames’ private letters, it’s woven from interviews with scores of current and former American, Israeli, and Palestinian intelligence officers as well as other players in the Middle East “Great Game.” What emerges is a masterpiece-level narrative of the making of a CIA officer, a uniquely insightful history of twentieth-century conflict in the Middle East, and an absorbing hour-by-hour account of the Beirut Embassy bombing. Even more impressive, Bird draws on his reporter’s skills to deliver a full dossier on the bombers and expose the shocking truth of where the attack’s mastermind resides today.
