Marxism is a process of experimentation, self-reflection, collective engagement, and perseverance. It's a miracle this book exists and that it's made its way to an English language audience. Rafeedie does a fascinating job teasing out the ugly, failed, and contradictory elements of a man amidst an attempted and failed revolution - documenting the psychological and interpersonal sacrifices one makes in pursuit of a leap of faith. Would love to see a woman's perspective on a similar ideological and political setting. 

Also an excellent historical primer on the first Intifada and surrounding geopolitical context.
