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

The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917-2017 by Rashid Khalidi is an essential book for anyone interested in learning more about Palestine. Khalidi breaks down a hundred years worth of history into digestible chapters that explore different historical moments (many of violence) in Palestine. From Britain’s colonial project to the creation of the State of Israel to the Nakba and Trump declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel, Khalidi explores each important moment with care and personal reflection. As someone who has deep ties to Palestine and saw some of these moments firsthand, Khalidi’s commentary is important and necessary. I think everyone should read this book to be more informed about what is happening in Gaza.
