The world's most notorious Arab terrorist, has been responsible for countless deaths and acts of destruction. Yet little is know about him or his organization. Seale tells the whole story of Abu Nidal including sources of his vast personal fortune, the comlex motives behind his often inexplicable acts of terrorism, and his ties to various Middle ?East and European governments and their intelligence agencies. this is the first thorough and authroritative accoun ot Abu Nidal's career, the structure of his worldwide organization, and the master whhom he seerves. Based extensive access to high-level defectos from Nidal's terrorist organization, Seales' account is an illuminating, often startling analysis of the intricacies of Middle East politics for the past 25 years. Seale tackkles head-on the most explosive question of all about Abu Nidal: the suspicion among PLO leaders and other Middle East observers that he is actually a tool of Israeli intelligence --- of hard-liners who fear that any settlement with the Arabs will inevitably mean returning territory to them. Whatever ties Abu Nidal may have to Israel, his main activity has been the accumulation of a vast fortune, largely through extortion and arms trading. Abu Nidal's terroist networrk is laid bare from its beginnings in Baghdad to its current and precarious home in Libya. In presenting the details of Abu Nidal's violent career, Seale proves a look at the always intense and often violent factional strife within the Palestinian movement and its complex and divided leadeership. Seale is one of Britain's most distinguished Middle Eastd specialists.
