4.9/5 (31695 ratings)

Description:Few lives reflect their times as much as the life of Abdel Bari Atwan. Born in a refugee camp in Gaza in 1950, he left aged seventeen and has since become one of the world’s foremost commentators on the Middle East.In this revealing memoir, Atwan recounts with humour and honesty his extraordinary journey. He depicts both the horror of camp massacres and the unexpected consequences of Britain’s involvement in the region – such as when a British paratrooper fell from the sky with his sizeable parachute and everyone in his mother’s village got new silk trousers.Alongside the trials and tribulations of displacement, Atwan relates the culture shock of moving to 1970s London and shows London’s famous Edgware Road in an entirely new light.Atwan shares his many extraordinary encounters, including tea with Margaret Thatcher, a weekend with Osama bin Laden, intimate meetings with Yasser Arafat, and the row between Colonel Gaddafi and the Shah of Iran that earned him his first journalistic break.But his is also a touching, personal story, never more so than when he describes taking his British-born children to meet his family, who still live in a camp surrounded by barbed wire.Abdel Bari Atwan is a Palestinian writer and journalist. The former Editor-in-Chief of the London-based daily al-Quds al-Arabi, he now edits the online newspaper Rai al Youm. He is a regular contributor to a number of publications, including the Guardian and Scottish Herald, and is a frequent guest on radio and television, including regular stints on the BBC's Dateline London. His publications include The Secret History of al-Qa'ida and After bin Laden: Al-Qa'ida, the Next Generation (both published by Saqi Books).
