My Father Was a Freedom Fighter: Gaza’s Untold Story
Veteran journalist, author and editor of the Palestine Chronicle Ramzy Baroud’s latest book, My Father Was a Freedom Fighter: Gaza’s Untold Story, was released in London by Pluto Press on December 27, 2009 to commemorate the first anniversary of the Israeli assault on Gaza.
As the frontline in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, Gaza is constantly reported as a place of violence and terror. Ramzy Baroud’s memoir explores the daily lives of the people in that turbulent region: the complex human beings — revolutionaries, mothers and fathers, lovers, and comedians — who make Gaza so much more than just a disputed territory. At the heart of Baroud’s tale is the story of his father, who, driven out of his village to a refugee camp, took up arms to fight the Occupation while trying to raise a family.
