Description

Philip Mattar (au). The political biography of the Mufti of Jerusalem (1895-1974), the principal leader of the Palestinian national movement during most of the years of British rule over Palestine & one of the most controversial figures in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Arab nationalists have glorified him as the symbol of resistance to Zionism while Zionist & Western writers have vilified him. This is the first serious & balanced study of the Mufti, his views, & his career. It carefully sets forth Palestine’s shift in political fortunes. “A splendidly written political biography that creates a balanced & convincing reinterpretation of its subject.” Photos.
