The authors lift the veil on Hamas's strategic decision-making methods at each of the crucial crossroads it has confronted: the Intifada and the struggle with the PLO, the Oslo accords and the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority, and the choice between absolute jihad against Israel and controlled violence. Now with a new introduction, this book does much to contextualize the current ascendancy of this controversial movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shaul Mishal, Avraham Sela\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 023114007X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231140072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.00w x 0.57d","brand":"Shaul Mishal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056686592255,"sku":"9780231140072","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c66cc9eb-c031-4f26-9e36-b2179a94e2f2.jpg?v=1685042703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-palestinian-hamas-shaul-mishal-9780231140072","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
