Abstract	:	Part analysis, part first-hand account, this assessment of Yasir Arafat's leadership of the Palestinian movement emphasizes the dual nature of his persona: guerrilla fighter and political pragmatist. With anecdotes drawn from his close association with Arafat dating back to the 1968 Battle of Karameh, the author attempts to untangle the Palestinian leader's mixed legacy over his forty-year career, from leading guerrilla operations against Israel, to entering into negotiations with it, to the Oslo period including the establishment of the Palestinian Authority, and finally the conduct of the al-Aqsa intifada.
