His name is forever linked to an operation in 1985 that sparked an international crisis: the hijacking of an Italian cruise liner named the Achille Lauro and the death of Leon Klinghoffer, an elderly American tourist. This memoir by the wife of Abu al-Abbas recalls an era of Palestinian resistance, the hard realities of a cause that faced impossible odds, and the irony that the death of a single man should outweigh all arguments of right and wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Abu al-Abbas told his wife . . . that his intention was \"to carry out an honorable operation against the Israeli Army . . . .

And when he died mysteriously in US custody in a Baghdad prison camp after America's 2003 invasion, all the world remembered of Al-Abbas was a crippled man called Leon Klinghoffer. No-one cared how an apparently healthy man would die in American hands.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Robert Fisk, The Independent\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 206\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43588391993479,"sku":"9781614570783","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/2rkWMhpLbS9781614570783.webp?v=1765410912","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/curse-of-the-achille-lauro-a-tribute-to-lost-souls-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
