In this sweeping account, Borna Ahadi takes readers behind the smoke-filled rooms of Arab summits, the barbed-wire negotiations with Israeli leaders, and the deadly shadows of regional conflict. This book traces Arafat's rise as the revolutionary leader of Fatah, his pivotal role in the formation of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), and his decades-long fight to secure a homeland for his people-even as geopolitics, religious strife, and internal divisions constantly undermined his cause.
"Poisoned Peace" is not merely a recounting of Arafat's biography; it is an investigation into the world's failed promises and the illusions of peace built on sand. From the bitter aftermath of the Oslo Accords to his final days trapped and isolated in Ramallah, this book examines whether Arafat was a peacemaker sabotaged by rivals or a tactician who never truly relinquished the gun.
Drawing on declassified intelligence, eyewitness accounts, and rare archival materials, Ahadi exposes the power games that kept Palestine stateless and the deep contradictions that defined Arafat himself: the freedom fighter who shook hands with his enemies, the president without a country, the icon adored and condemned in equal measure.
With gripping narrative and dramatic revelations, Poisoned Peace explores the ultimate question: was Yasser Arafat a martyr of peace or its greatest illusion?
