Summary "This social biography of 'Izz al-Din al-Qassam, a preacher, soldier, and anti-colonial rebel who became a symbol of Palestinian nationalism after his death in 1935, examines his struggles against the Italians in Libya, the French in Syria, and the British and Israel in Palestine, as well as his legacy as understood by pro-Arab forces such as Hamas and more broadly in the region"-- Provided by publisher
