This landmark volume presents vivid and intimate portraits of Palestinian Presidents Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas, revealing the profound impact these different personalities have had on the ongoing struggle for national self-determination. Arafat and Abbas, both born in Palestine, were uprooted by the 1948 war and returned in 1994 to serve as the first and second presidents of the Palestinian Authority (PA), a significant milestone in the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) quest for self-determination for the Palestinian nation. Both Arafat and Abbas were shaped by their earlier careers in the PLO, adopting their own controversial leadership methods and decision-making styles.

Drawing on primary sources in Arabic, Hebrew, and English, the book delves into the lesser-known aspects of Abbas, including his beliefs and disagreements with Israeli and American counterparts. It uncovers new details about Abbas's peace talks and US foreign policy towards Palestine, analyzing the political evolution of Hamas and Abbas's succession struggle. Additionally, the book highlights the tension between the aging leader and his society, providing a comprehensive and balanced account of the PA's achievements and failures over its twenty-five years of existence.

What emerges from Arafat and Abbas is a resilient and enduring Palestinian nationalism that refuses to fade away. The book serves as a valuable contribution to understanding the complex dynamics of the Palestinian political landscape and the ongoing quest for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
