520			_aThese 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.
520			_a"Sari Nusseibeh's autobiography is the story of his country Sari Nusseibeh's family history is inextricably interwoven with the city of Jerusalem, and his own life with the Palestinian nationalist struggle. A dreamer by nature, he was always curious about what lay beyond the barbed wire of No Man's Land of divided East Jerusalem, and only too aware of the competing claims of the three great religions in his beloved Old City. Reluctantly, he became involved in politics, managing to be termed ""the smiling face of Palestinian terror"" by some Israelis whilst also provoking Palestinian death threats - such were the angry responses to his independent thinking. Through his deeply moving personal story, Nusseibeh reveals the terrible consequences of war, partition and terrorism. He also charts, from the inside, the life of the embattled Palestinian leadership under Arafat, with a penetrating analysis of the workings of the Palestinian Authority. "
