This is a very well-researched book, albeit light on crimes that the Jewish militias have committed against the local Arab population. Although, it is an easy read, the volume of information takes time to digest. The reason why the Arabs blindly continue to fight the Jews in an effort to create a pan-Arabic state is clearly stated in this book. Ultimately, this research shows how the Arab leadership has failed the Arabs in the former Palestine region. The fate of these Arabs has come to depend on the benevolence of the Israeli state as the Arab leadership couldn’t care less about them. A very disturbing theme, based on hatred, common throughout the book, echoing prophetic words from Genesis 16:11-12.

I knew the events rather well but wanted to read a coherent version in a book form. The book is apparently well researched and written without much water. Still, not enjoyed at all considering the theme. Overall, the reading solidified my convictions that Palestinians should be more accurately called Husseini's Children, considering how much they still follow his teachings and intents.
