Index
Shafiq Al-Hout was one of the leading figures of the PLO, from its
foundation through to the Oslo Agreement. His autobiography is
called My Life in the PLO: The Inside Story of the Palestinian
Struggle (Pluto, 2010). He has written numerous articles, essays
and books, including The Left and Arab Nationalism (1959), The
Palestinian between Diaspora and State (1977) and Moments of
History (1986). He lived in Beirut until his death in 2009.
Jean Said Makdisi is the sister of Edward Said. She is the editor
of My Life in the PLO: The Inside Story of the Palestinian Struggle
(Pluto Press, 2010).
Hader Al-Hout is the son of Shafia Al-Hout. He translated his
father's autobiography, My Life in the PLO: The Inside Story of the
Palestinian Struggle (Pluto, 2010).
'In this refreshingly unconventional chronicle of a half-century of
Palestinian nationalism, tough-minded Shafiq al-Hout never flinches
from talking truth to power'
*Jonathan Randal, retired Washington Post Correspondent*
