this book picks up where The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine ended, following mostly the events of 1967 and the ensuing political aftermath.  i found it a bit harder to follow and low-key less compelling than his earlier book, which has been seared into my mind permanently.  worth the read.

A brutal summary of the “situation” in Palestine over the 20 and 21 Centuries, Pappe exposes in retrospect how Israel intended to treat Palestine from the very beginning. This isn’t a strategy from 1967 or even 1948. The roots have been in place since the 1890s. This is a must read for anyone who claims to be pro- Palestine and even more imperative for those who are on the fence.
