Emmaus, PA:: Rodale Press,, (2003). Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket.. First printing. Foreword by Christopher Dickey who states "As Barbara Victor makes clear in this extraordinary chronicle of passion and politics, terror and liberation, Palestinian women have always known that when it comes to suffering and dying, they are the equals of their men. And in the last few years, as they have slung backpacks full of explosives over their shoulders or strapped bombs around their waists--indeed, around their wombs--some have chosen, too, to be killers. . . . This is an angry book, filled with human emotion, and a frightening one, which is as it should be." This presents the histories of the first five female bombers who succeeded as well as the troubling stories of those who failed. Photographs. Index. 209 pp.
