My People Shall Live: Autobiography of a Revolutionary as Told to George Hajjar by Leila Khaled
5.0
If you want to understand the existential indignation, rage, passion and intellectual reasoning that pushes a dispossessed people into violent struggle against their oppressors (through a lens of socialist class warfare) this is a good place to start.
My feelings on this book (and many other things) are complicated, for reasons better explained to a therapist than here. Let's just say as a pacifist (coward?) who hates violence but longs for a free Palestine, in a world where diplomacy stalls time & again and violence against the oppressed is applauded while violence against the oppressors is condemned, I'm a mess of emotions and identity crises.
It's depressing and infuriating that, even though so much has changed, almost nothing at all has changed in 50 years. Imperialism and neo-colonialism still reigns and a true peaceful solution seems nowhere on the horizon.
