Shafiq Al-Hout, a high ranking PLO official until his resignation in 1993, provides previously unavailable details on the key events in its history such as its recognition by the UN and the Oslo peace negotiations. Taking us right to the heart of the decision making processes, this book explains the personalities and internal politics that shaped the PLO's actions and the Palestinian experience of the twentieth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough he was an insider, Al-Hout's book does not shy from analysing and criticising decisions and individuals, including Yasser Arafat.
