Contents Description:

Nusseibeh was raised to be a "representative man" of his country. His family's roots in Palestine trace back to the Middle Ages, and his father was governor of Jerusalem. Educated at Oxford, he was trained to build upon his father's support for coexistence and a negotiated solution to the problems of the region. But the wars of 1967 and 1973 spelled the beginning of the end for the vision of a unified Palestine - and Nusseibeh's story dramatizes and personlizes recent history from a Palestinian point of view as no book has done. - from the back cover
