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.

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.

4.0

This is a heavy and important book. It was hard to see how many lies I’d been told as an American and just fully believed until October of 2023. I really liked the personal stories mixed in by the author; they did an excellent job of framing it in humanity better than if the whole book was just focused on the history.

A bit dry, but very important information. I like how the author included his own experiences and family history in the narrative.

5.0

An essential overview of a century's worth of Palestinian history. This book is educational and detailed, but not overly academic or dense. 

At times, the author includes his own first hand accounts and those from family members. This adds an illuminating personal touch.
