[Out of Print]

This study focuses on the first year and a half of the Intifada and examines the continuation of the uprising against the Israeli occupation. In disproving the Israeli claims that an external power was behind the Intifada, Abu-Amr discusses the root and immediate causes and catalysts for the outbreak of the uprising. He considers the organization of Palestinian society, the Unified National Leadership, the PLO, national figures and institutions, the discovery of potential and mass creativity, the media and press, and finally reviews Israeli measures against the Intifada.
