HAMAS: The Quest for Power

Declared a terrorist menace yet voted into government in a free election, Hamas then used its Gaza power base to launch cross-border attacks that scorched Israel and transformed the dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. How did a small Palestinian offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood grow to challenge long-established rivals such as the PLO? Who supports Hamas and what is its agenda? How powerful has it become and how strong will it remain? With decades of combined experience researching and reporting from the occupied West Bank and Gaza, Jerusalem, and around the Middle East, Beverley Milton-Edwards and Stephen Farrell gained unrivalled access to Hamas. Drawing on years of frontline reporting and interviews with members of the group's founding generation and their successors who now lead it, they trace Hamas' path to the shocking attacks of 07 October 2023 and their devastating aftermath.&nbsp; Its critics believe Hamas must be ousted to reach a solution to the Middle East conflict. Hamas's supporters believe it is the solution. Nobody now believes it can be ignored. Based on their landmark 2010 study which has been thoroughly revised and updated, this book brings the story of Hamas up to the present and will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the Middle East today.

Mission to Mars, testing water quality in the lakes of Ireland, and bringing the Internet to remote sub-Saharan villages all have something in common. They are all examples of networking in extreme environments that overwhelm traditional technology and require new communications solutions. Delay and disruption networking (DTN) is an up-and-coming technology that enables networking in extreme environments. This complete reference on DTN covers applications requirements, DTN protocols, and network implementation. Thoroughly examining the causes of delay and disruption, the book shows how to engineer a robust network that can survive the harshest conditions. DTN is a popular solution for extreme sensor applications, and this cutting-edge resource explores all the issues, including power management, related to DTN and sensor networking. In addition to providing practical insights and case studies, the book also looks at routing, custody in practice, and security in DTN.
