The Second Palestinian Intifada: A Chronicle of a People's Struggle (Paperback)
by Ramzy Baroud (Author), Kathleen Christison (Foreword), Bill Christison (Foreword), Mahfouz Abu Turk (Illustrator), Matthew Cassel (Illustrator), Jennifer Loewenstein (Introduction)
Book Description
Ramzy Baroud is a veteran journalist and former producer for Al-Jazeera TV. This is his comprehensive account of the momentous events of the last five years which shaped the political landscape not only of Palestine and Israel but of the entire Middle East region. Addressing the most controversial issues, including the alarming escalation in suicide bombings, and the construction of the Separation Wall, he reports on the huge rate of unemployment and hunger in the Occupied Territories—statistics so critical that NGOs compare their magnitude to African nations such as the Congo. From the brutality of the Israeli army to the ever-compromising nature of the Palestinian Authority, few are spared Baroud¹s thoughtful critique. The book is clear and concise, with one chapter dedicated to the major events of each year, and includes a comprehensive timeline.
Ramzy Baroud teaches Mass Communication at Australia's Curtin University of Technology, Malaysia Campus, and is Editor-in-Chief of the Palestine Chronicle. Baroud's work has been published in hundreds of newspapers worldwide, from the Washington Post to the Japan Times. His articles have been translated into scores of languages from French to Japanese to Bulgarian.
