Dubbed 'the poster girl of Palestinian militancy', Leila Khaled's
image flashed across the world after she hijacked a passenger jet
in 1969. 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. In 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. Leila 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.
