Bulletins and Supplementary Papers of the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem, 1922–1931 has been republished by the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL) in 2023, with a newly commissioned introductory text. CBRL was formed as a merger from the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem, and the British Institute at Amman for Archaeology and History in 1998. 100 years after their original publication, the republication of these bulletins and newsletters from the founding years of the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem offers important insights into the history of the institution, and also into the discipline of archaeology in the period of the British Mandate in Palestine.

Dubbed 'the poster girl of Palestinian militancy', Leila Khaled's image flashed across the world after she hijacked a passenger jet in 1969. The picture of a young, determined looking woman with a checkered scarf, clutching an AK-47, was as era-defining as that of Che Guevara.

In this intimate profile, based on interviews with Khaled and those who know her, Sarah Irving gives us the life-story behind the image. Key moments of Khaled's turbulent life are explored, including the dramatic events of the hijackings, her involvement in the Marxist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (a radical element within the PLO), her opposition to the Oslo peace process and her activism today.

Leila Khaled's example gives unique insights into the Palestinian struggle through one remarkable life – from the tension between armed and political struggle, to the decline of the secular left and the rise of Hamas, and the role of women in a largely male movement.
