Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History by Nur Masalha

challenging informative slow-paced

3.0

I (wrongly) assumed this would give me knowledge about the ancient history of Palestine. However it is mainly a history of the name Palestine as opposed to a cultural history. It is incredibly well researched but challenging to read as it reads like an academic essay. Despite this I recommend for anyone who believes that the name Palestine is a relatively modern or Israeli given name.
