My Palestine - An Impossible Exile

Mohammad Tarbush was born in British Mandate Palestine in 1948. As an infant, he and his family were forced to evacuate theirvillage together with its entire population after the Zionist victory that led to the establishment of the State of Israel. As landlessrefugees in the West Bank the family sank into poverty. When, as a teenager, Tarbush left home one day under the pretext of visiting relatives in Jordan, he in fact set off on a year-long hitchhiking journey to Europe, where he would eventually become a highly successful international banker and a key behind-the-scenes promoter of the Palestinian cause. My Palestine is a poignant personal memoir and an incisive political and economic commentary on the tumultuous events that have shaped the history of Palestine, Israel and the modern Middle East.
