Mandatory reading. Absolutely devastating but so educational and incredibly important. 

This historical account of the Nakba is thorough, but I didn't find it overly dense or academic.

This book is incredibly dense. I don’t think i retained all of the information in it, but I still learned a ton. Essential context for Israel’s current atrocities against Palestinians.

This is a book I've been meaning to read for years, but present events have pushed it to the top of the pile. This is an invaluable piece of historical analysis that will continue to inform my commitment to decolonization and anti-apartheid movements.

dark informative reflective

5.0

If you’re like me, and you didn’t know a whole lot about the *actual* history between Israel and Palestine, I highly recommend picking up this informative, dark, and yet strangely hopeful book.

It is written by Ilan Pappé, an Israeli Historian who writes with cutting truth about the situation that has been unfolding since 1917. It exposes the hidden darkness behind the Zionist belief system, and analyses the multiple different battles (though battles makes it seem as though there was a fair playing field) with a blinding floodlight, laying it the facts in an incredibly accessible way.

In addition to all that, the narrator for the audiobook was excellent. they were extremely engaging, and kept me hooked for the audiobook’s entirety!

I highly recommend this one for anyone seeking to know more about Palestine.
