Kingdom of Olives and Ash: Writers Confront the Occupation by Michael Chabon

emotional informative inspiring fast-paced

4.5

This is a wonderful collection of essays in a small range of perspectives — all broadly anti-occupation, though each author focuses on a slightly different facet of what they experienced while on a trip to the West Bank with Breaking the Silence. Some of the details in the essays are repetitive, because the authors traveled as a group and had many of the same experiences — but it’s always poignant and heartbreaking to hear stories bearing witness to the atrocities of the occupation.
