Exile in Israel: A Personal Journey with the Palestinians

A personal perspective on the Middle East is offered by the author of this autobiography, who recounts her experiences over a 40-year period as a doctor working in Israel, Lebanon and the occupied territories. It is an uncompromising account of life and politics as viewed by an outsider. Runa Mackay gives her own views of political situations such as the Six Days War, the birth of the Intifada, Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait and the Israeli deportation of Palestinians living in the occupied territories, as seen through the eyes of a doctor attending the victims of war and exile.
