Beyond Intifada: Narratives of Freedom Fighters in the Gaza Strip - Paperback

by Haim Gordon (Author), Rivca Gordon (Author), Taher Shriteh (Author)

The story of the Intifada in the Gaza Strip, with its tragic and inspiring outcomes, is slowly fading from the world's collective memory. In the final weeks of 1987, however, this small strip of land became a major battleground for a national rebellion with repercussions that still echo today. This book presents the personal narratives of six Palestinians whose stories are central to describing the greater Palestinian plight in the Gaza Strip, the Intifada, the beginning of the 1993 peace process, and beyond.
