Through recounting his own spectacular life, Dr. Shawki Harb’s memoir, “A Surgeon Under Israeli Occupation,” depicts Palestinian reality from the British Mandate to today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Ramallah, Dr. Shawki Harb was born on December 13, 1938, during the Great Revolt between 1936-1939 and, as Dr. Harb recounts, he came on his own<\/em>, since the midwife could not reach the house in time due to intense shooting in the neighborhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born a Christian and breastfed by a Muslim, Dr. Harb embodies the best of both traditions. If you are from my generation or older in Palestine, you know and respect the person even if you have never crossed paths with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
