Despite being considered inaccurate or highly 'biased' by some, Pappe's history review from the Palestinian point-of-view is shocking yet well-written description on the Zionist persecution of Palestinians. Although being a highly disputed book, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine is an eye-opening read to start unraveling the hidden history. I value highly that Pappe at least aimed to include many Palestinian sources (though perhaps discarding others) and challenged the status-quo of Israeli history writing.
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'.

Well written and well researched. It a great non-Western perspective on Palestine, especially amidst all the Israeli and US propaganda.

3.5

I'm not sure why, but I was expecting this book to be less military heavy. I understand the role of the military, but it felt like the vast majority of this book was a play by play of every military action from Israel. 

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.
