About this title

From Library Journal:

Mohammed Yasser Arafat is a 56-year- old enigma who is a fiend from hell to his enemies and an inspiration from heaven to his friends. Hart, a journalist and currrently an international affairs consultant, has covered the Middle East for many years. After gaining Ara fat's confidence, Hart traveled with and interviewed him and his colleagues extensively. His portrait shows Arafat to be a fast driver of fast cars, a lover of children, a redeemer of a displaced peo ple and culture, and a man who has giv en his entire life to his cause, whose only ``vice'' is honey in his tea, whose charisma is personal. Arafat conveys the Palestinian side of the Middle East maelstrom in sympathetic brushstrokes while providing one of the first compre hensive (albeit subjective) biographies of a major character in contemporary history. Recommended for most large collections. David P. Snider, Casa Grande P.L., Ariz.
