Publisher's Synopsis
Laila Parsons tells Fawzi Al-Qawuqji's dramatic story and sets it in the full context of his turbulent times. Following Israel's decisive victory in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948, Qawuqji was widely faulted as a poor leader with possibly dubious motives. This book shows that the truth was more complex: although he doubtless made some strategic mistakes, he never gave up fighting for Arab independence and unity, even as those ideals were undermined by powers inside and outside the Arab world.
