RICHARD BECKER
"Palestine, Israel and the U.S.Empire"

Richard Becker is a noted writer and commentator on Middle East affairs and
has contributed to various books and videos on the region. His recent book
(of the same title) provides a sharp analysis of historic and current events
in the struggle for Palestine--from the division of the Middle East by
Western powers and the Zionist settler movement, to the founding of Israel
and its regional role as a guardian for U.S.interests, to present-day
conflicts and the prospects for a just resolution. The book is an
introduction to the heroic efforts of the Palestinian people to achieve
justice in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

Richard is the Western Regional coordinator of the Party for Socialism &
Liberation and a frequent contributor to Liberation newspaper and
PSLweb.org. He has visited the Middle East on numerous occasions.
