"[By] Najwa Kawar Farah".
Includes bibliographical references (p. 136).
"Najwa's experience of invasion and brutal occupation is second to none as she was in Nazareth when Israeli forces can in '48. She was in the West Bank when they came in '67 and in Beirut in '82, during that invasion with its huge loss of life. But Najwa's story comes from another angle. It is the story of the Palestinian people with their wonderful heritage trying to survive amidst all the pain and conflict. Najwa paints a picture of a dignified culture and community, where Christian and Muslim live together." -- Foreword, pp. [v]-vi.

I can think of no higher calling than to be a witness for peace". -- Prologue, p. xiv.
