The PLO

Viac o knihe

The Palestine Liberation Organization, initially formed by Arab states to oppose Israel, ultimately became a source of conflict among Arabs themselves. In Jordan, it emerged as a competing authority, leading to its violent expulsion. Its military buildup in Lebanon triggered a civil war and subsequent Israeli intervention, culminating in another expulsion in June 1982. The book explores the complex dynamics of power, conflict, and the unintended consequences of the PLO's actions on Arab communities.
