Editor’s Note: Intifada Palestine is republishing this article in remembrance of the late Patrick Seale who passed away yesterday April 11, 2014 at the age of 83 after suffering from brain cancer.  He had many skills – as author, journalist, broadcaster, Middle East historian, arts aficionado and dealer and literary agent.
