Description: Kill Khalid by Paul McGeough A leading international correspondent reconstructs the pivotal moment in the rise of Hamas. Authoritative, compassionate and informative. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The 1997 attempted assassination of Hamas leader Khalid Mishal by Mossad gained little public attention despite setting into motion a flurry of international diplomacy, culminating in the direct intervention of the US and then President Clinton. In a headlong narrative, with high-speed car chases, prisoner exchanges and international scandal that threatened the entire region, McGeough uses unprecedented interviews with Mishal and key players in Amman, Jerusalem and Washington to expose the rise of Hamas. Author Biography Paul McGeough is the chief foreign correspondent for and a former editor of Australias Sydney Morning Herald and the author of several books on the Middle East, including Kill Khalid: The Failed Mossad Assassination of Khalid Mishal and the Rise of Hamas (The New Press), which won the 2010 Premiers Book of the Year award in Sydney, Australia. He has twice been named Australian Journalist of the Year and was awarded the Johns Hopkins University–based SAIS Novartis Prize for excellence in international journalism and eight Walkley Awards for his reporting on crisis and conflict. He lives in McLean, Virginia. Review "More than just a thriller with endnotes.
