Arafat: The Biography

Rating:
Summary: not as good as...
Review: This book needs some clerification. I reccomend Harts "Arafat" and Aburishs 'Arafat' above this. This book tries to paint a picture of Arafat as a great legitimate political leader. But this book does not show the whoel picture. It makes Arafat out to be more then a terrorist and does nto weigh the effort that he was a viscious murdered of children(which he was for most of his life). THis book does take into account his many twists and turns but it probably gives Arafat too much credit and is not as interesting as other works on the man.

Rating:
Summary: Arafat is a murderer, nothing less.
Review: This book paints far to nice a picture of Arafat.

That any American can be pro-Arafat is mind-boggling. Arafat hates the West just a bit less then he hates Israel.

He has murdered thousands. He is a despicable person and is in no way a legitimate political leader.
