The story of one man's life in the region, it is also the richest and most sympathetic account to date of the modern Palestinian outlook - a work of rare depth, compassion, and emotional power.. . . . .[This] autobiography is the story of his country - a story that, of necessity, is part of our story as well. It has the scope and vitality of an old-fashioned novel - one whose ending is still uncertain.""
