challenging dark emotional informative tense medium-paced

5.0

This was an incredibly personal and yet measured and succinct book on Palestinian struggles since 1917. I learned so much about the creation of Israel, the failings of past Palestinian freedom movements, and the current state of affairs. 

Khalidi’s conclusion is powerful and offers ways to move towards peace.

I listened to this book through my library via Libby.

Brief Summary: A personal family story and a historical retrospective of the colonial establishment of Israel and its impact on Palestine.

Thoughts: This is a beautifully moving and important book to read. I learned a great deal about  Palestine's history. Khalidi's writing is informative and emotional. 

I would highly recommend it.
