Regardless whether one considers Pappe a reliable writer and historian or not, this book is a great start to finding the truth. It's probable, nevertheless, the truth is still hidden to a great extend, thus more high-quality research is needed. I hope to find some truly objective history reviews that include wide range of sources concerning the subject. Yet Pappe's work was an alright 'first introduction'.

That being said, I did learn a lot about the history of Israel and Palestine and I took away a lot from this book. However, it was definitely like a textbook. I think I will look for more succinct summaries that focuses more on the lives of people impacted than a military playbook.

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappé
A very detailed, comprehensive history of the Nakba in which Pappé holds nothing back to make sure readers know exactly what happened and just how insidious it was. Pappé dug through archives, recorded conversations, the journal of David Ben-Gurion, and more to lay out the atrocities of the Nakba and how they were allowed to happen.
When I say there's nothing really held back, I mean it. Pappé really goes for the shock factor to make us understand how brutal this was. Hiding mines in destroyed buildings to prevent Palestinians from returning. Conversations where they discuss how to present this to the West so they'll accept the war as “necessary.” Documented name changes in higher-up government officials so they sound more indigenous to the region.
Parts of the book also delve closer to the modern day to show the remnants of the Nakba on Israeli policy toward Palestinians. Although the vast majority is on the years of the Nakba.
“This book is written with the deep conviction that the ethnic cleansing of Palestine must become rooted in our memory and consciousness as a crime against humanity and that it should be excluded from the list of alleged crimes.”
First published almost 20 years ago but is as relevant as it would be if it was published 2 months ago. Just would have had even more insight into recent events leading up to the current genocide.
