This book examines the unprecedented challenge mounted by Palestinian insurgents to Israeli military rule in the West Bank and Gaza between 1987 and 1992. In particular it discusses how the Palestinians learned about their occupier and how knowledge of Israeli political divisions were used. In addition, the book explores the various ways in which oppression led to shared grievances and discontent, and the development of organizations to maintain the Intifada.
