Book Description:

The 'fedayeen' were first to come to public notice in Egyptian commando raids on Israel in 1955. Gradually organised movements for the 'liberation of Palestine' sprang up - Fatah, the Heroes of the Return, the Palestine Liberation Organization and numerous others. Their story is an extraordinary contrast of success and failure. At the outset they aroused world sympathy for the Palestinian plight - but have since alienated most of it by their world-wide terrorist activities; they have thrown the Arab community into turmoil, using violence to obtain support and funds; they have been bloodily crushed by fellow Arabs. - from the back cover
