Arafat: In the Eyes of the Beholder

Yasser Arafat, Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Movement, has long been regarded as holding the key to peace in the Middle East. This biography examines the man from the perspectives of those who know him best and the Americans who have negotiated with him, his Syrian adversaries, his Jordanian allies and his Israeli enemies, and Arafat himself. Based on research and interviews with key figures, the book provides details of Arafat's childhood, his days as a student leader in Cairo, the women in his life and his involvement in and eventual renouncement of terrorism. The Wallachs are the co-authors of "Still Small Voices", a book about the Palestinian uprising.
