Description of Intifada.

In December 1987, the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza took to the streets in a massive popular uprising in an attempt to end more than two decades of Israeli occupation and establish an independent Palestinian state.

“This book is the most realistic and helpful assessment yet of the Intifada—its causes, its impact and its prospects. The editors, long-time students of the Middle East, are admirably equipped to do this work.”—George McGovern, Institute for Policy Studies

“We owe the children of the Intifada the obligation to tell the world what this great civilian uprising is all about. This book does that. It deserves the widest possible readership.”—Abdeen Jabara, American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee
