About the book

In the haunting and inspiring Memoirs of a Militant Nawal Baidoun offers us her first-person account of the life of a young woman activist imprisoned for four years, as well as the events leading up to her arrest and detention. Born into a nationalist family in Bint Jbeil, Lebanon, not far from the location of the prison itself, Baidoun, like so many others, found herself compelled to take up arms to resist the Israeli occupation. Her memoir skillfully weaves together stories of the oppressive conditions facing ordinary people in South Lebanon, and of the horrors of daily life inside the prison itself.
