🇵🇸 My People Shall Live: The Autobiography of a Revolutionary by Leila Khaled
Publication date 1971
ليلى خالد,

Leila Khaled's autobiography was published when she was only 29, which is an unusually young age for someone documenting their life’s achievements.

But by then Khaled, who gained notoriety as a plane hijacker and icon of Palestinian #resistance, had already experienced more than most people manage during a lifetime.

My People Shall Live details Khaled’s early years with her family as they fled the catastrophe that engulfed the Palestinians after the creation of Israel.

She then lived as a refugee in Lebanon and Kuwait, joined the left-wing Arab Nationalist Movement in Beirut at 15, and later became part of the Marxist-Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestinians (#PFLP).

More than anything, My People Shall Live depicts the events, tragedies, and injustices that create a "terrorist" in the eyes of the Israeli government and its allies.
