(For more than a decade, one man' revolution in an unfamil...)
For more than a decade, one man' revolution in an unfamiliar North African country has engendered hundreds of headlines, dozens of major - often seemingly unrelated - news stories: the training and support of terrorists - Armand Hammer - the Billy Carter affair - the "Black Prince" - ex-CIA agents Edwin Wilson and Frank Terpil - "The Hilton Assignment" - civil war in Chad - OPEC militancy - turmoil in the Islamic world - the shooting of a Libyan dissident on Colorado - The Green Book - Libyan hit squads - a $20 billion Libyan-Soviet arms deal - Exxon and Mobil withdraw from Libyan oil fields - North African regimes in peril - Qaddafi's quest for nuclear arms. Here, for the first time, all the pieces are assembled. Here, at long last, is a full, level-headed, and insightful look at what has been wrought by the enigmatic Colonel Qaddafi.

( In March 1968 Palestinian guerrillas and Jordanian troo...)
In March 1968 Palestinian guerrillas and Jordanian troops combined forces to respond to Israeli raids into Jordan, provoking visions of new unity and future military success. Yet by September 1970 mounting friction between the Palestinian guerrillas in Jordan and King Hussein’s regime came to a head with the hijackings at Dawson’s Field and the defeat by Jordan’s forces of the Palestinians. The savagery of the fighting and the bitter consequences for the Palestinian guerrillas gave this month the name Black September: a name that was to reappear ominously in months to come. Who are the Palestinians? Many people only became aware of their existence because of terrorism, particularly the Black September operation at the Munich Olympics. Yet the Palestinians are at the very heart of the Middle East problem, and this book, first published in 1973, tells their story. The core of the book describes the emergence of the various guerrilla groups, joined by Palestinians hopeful of regaining lost land and lost dignity, and the ideologies and differences of the groups. There are personal interviews with some of the main leaders, and other chapters examine the relationships and interaction between the Palestinian groups and the Soviet bloc, the Chinese, the Third World, the West, and most important, the Israelis themselves.
