The picture of a young, determined looking woman with a checkered scarf, clutching an AK-47, was as era-defining as that of Che Guevara.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this intimate profile, based on interviews with Khaled and those who know her, Sarah Irving gives us the life-story behind the image. Key moments of Khaled’s turbulent life are explored, including the dramatic events of the hijackings, her involvement in the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (a radical element within the PLO), her opposition to the Oslo peace process and her activism today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeila Khaled’s example gives unique insights into the Palestinian struggle through one remarkable life – from the tension between armed and political struggle, to the decline of the secular left and the rise of Hamas, and the role of women in a largely male movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palestine Center for Peace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42977440170082,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/0506\/files\/9780745329512.jpg?v=1780293096","url":"https:\/\/palestinecenterforpeace.com.au\/products\/leila-khaled-icon-of-palestinian-liberation","provider":"Palestine Center for Peace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
