[EAN: 9780809067121], Neubuch, [PU: Hill & Wang], Hardcover. Revered by some as the Arab Garibaldi, maligned by others as an intriguer and opportunist, Fawzi al-Qawuqji manned the ramparts of Arab history for four decades. As a young officer in the Ottoman Army, he fought the British in the First World War, and won an Iron Cross. In the 1920s, he mastered the arts of insurgency and helped lead a massive uprising against the French authorities in Syria. A decade later, he re-appeared in Palestine, where he helped direct the Arab revolt of 1936. When an effort to overthrow the British rulers of Iraq failed, he moved to Germany and spent much of the Second World War battling his fellow exile, the Mufti of Jerusalem, who accused him of being a British spy. In 1947, Qawuqji made a daring escape from Allied-occupied Berlin, and sought once again to shape his region's history. In his most famous role, he would command the Arab Liberation Army in the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. In this well-crafted, definitive biography, Laila Parsons tells Qawuqji's dramatic story and sets it in the full context of his turbulent times. Following Israel's decisive victory, Qawuqji was widely faulted as a poor commander with possibly dubious motives. Parsons shows us that the truth was more complex: although he doubtless made some strategic mistakes, he never gave up fighting for Arab independence and unity, even as those ideals were undermined by powers inside and outside the Arab world. A is for algae, B is for barrier reef, C is for clam in this "fintastic" touch-and-feel board book. Babies and toddlers will love to look at the adorable artwork of Mr. Fish's undersea world as they learn their letters from A to Z. Little hands will be eager to touch, feel, and explore the many different textures on each captivating spread.

We cannot understand Arab history in the first half of the twentieth century without understanding its military adventures and misadventures, and we cannot understand those adventures and misadventures without understanding one man: Fawzi al-Qawuqji. Revered by some as the Arab Garibaldi, maligned by others as an intriguer and opportunist, Qawuqji was at the center of the action for four decades. As a young officer in the Ottoman Army, he fought the British in World War I and was awarded an Iron Cross by the Germans. In 1925, he led a massive uprising against the French authorities in Syria, learning the arts of insurgency. After a sojourn as an adviser to the King of Saudi Arabia, he reappeared in Palestine, where he helped direct the Arab revolt of 1936 against the British. When an effort to overthrow the British rulers of Iraq failed in 1941, he moved to Germany, where he spent much of World War II plotting his return to the Middle East and battling his fellow exile, the Mufti of Jerusalem, who had accused him of being a British spy. In 1947, Qawuqji made a daring escape from Allied-occupied Berlin, and sought once again to shape his region's history. In his most famous role, he would command the Arab Liberation Army in the Arab-Israeli war of 1948.In this well-crafted, definitive biography, Laila Parsons tells Qawuqji's dramatic story and sets it in the full context of his turbulent times. Following Israel's decisive victory, Qawuqji was widely faulted as a poor commander with possibly dubious motives. In "The Commander," Parsons argues that Qawuqji was nothing of the kind: a skilled military and political strategist, he was deeply committed to the ideals of Arab independence and unity, even as those ideals were manipulated and traduced by powers inside and outside the Arab world.
