Read this book. Read Palestinian books all year round. With the continued genocide and the erasure of Palestinian history by Zionist colonizers, learning about the real history of the people, land and culture is highly important. Read, learn, and take action.

The editing was painfully bad. I DNFed in Chapter 7 when one of the notes referenced a WordPress page and not an original source.

a fairly repetitive and at times turgidly written overview of the history of Palestine. the information is interesting but lacking narrative structure or organization - I'd heavily recommend Ilan Pappe's books over this on readability alone. this one needed an editor big time.

Obviously a hugely important work. This is thorough and it goes DEEP.
If you want a quick primer on Palestine - this ain’t it. If you want to go deeper and having a longer scope of historical context, this is for you.
Minus one star because the editing was lacking. Book felt repetitive and a bit disorganized.

A good base book for understanding the history of palestine before 1916. Has a few mistakes (repeated paragraphs, words missing etc) but yea
