<p><strong>"No other author has been as profoundly formative for me as Kanafani" </strong>Mohammed El-Kurd, poet, writer and journalist, author of <em>Rifqa</em></p><p><strong>"I cannot think of a better collection to guide anyone seeking </strong><strong>a moral role in the struggle for the liberation of Palestine" </strong>Ilan Pappé, historian and author of <em>The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine</em></p><p><strong>"As relevant today as he was in the 1960s and 1970s" </strong>Ghassan Abu Sittah, award-winning surgeon, humanitarian and educator</p><p>Ghassan Kanafani is perhaps the greatest Palestinian novelist, whose books including <em>Men in the Sun</em> and <em>Returning to Haifa</em> documented the horrors of war and occupation. He was also a leading political thinker, strategist and revolutionary. Here, his writings on politics, history, national liberation and the media are collected in English for the first time.</p><p>Featuring new commentary from leading writers, this collection is a testament to Kanafani's continuing relevance. His work remains a vital touchstone for revolutionary Palestinian struggle and anti-colonial thought.</p><p><strong>Ghassan Kanafani </strong>is one of the most well-known Arab writers and journalists of the past century. Born in Palestine in 1936, Kanafani and his family were forced to flee his homeland during the Nakba - after which he lived and worked in Damascus, Kuwait and finally, from 1960, Beirut. Kanafani was assassinated in 1972 by a car bomb planted by Israeli agents. His writings have inspired generations of Palestinians and those standing in solidarity with their cause.</p><p><strong>Louis Brehony</strong> is an award-winning researcher on political culture, musician, writer and activist.
