smilagros's review

dark informative sad tense fast-paced

I listened to this on audio and I highly recommend reading it that way. I am very angry and very frustrated about how little I knew about what Israel and the United States did and is still doing to the Palestinian people. The United States has let Israel do whatever the fuck they want, no wonder they will never call for a ceasefire now. I wish that the Western media would stop trying to change the narrative about Israel and actually tell us the fucking truth instead of sugar coating everything.

4.5

Definitely think this is one I’ll need a physical copy of to reread and take notes. The narrator was fantastic, but it was very dense and without the ability to easily flip back and forth, I know I missed a lot of information. Still, highly recommend and believe this is an informative and necessary history for all to read and learn about.

An in depth analysis of the events and politics that have plagued the Palestinian people over the last 100 years. 

A bit dense to get through if you don't frequently read historical non-fiction, but worth the read.

careinthelibrary's review against another edition

informative sad slow-paced

I enjoyed the parts about the author's life and family most, but the historical context was also enlightening. A bit dense, but consequently full of information.
