In The Hundred Years' War on Palestine, Khalidi makes the argument that Palestine has been under siege from different opposing forces (but all connected to Zionism) since the Balfour Declaration in 1917. He explains how Zionism, with help from not only the Western powers, but further powered from the failure of the USSR and other Arab nations, resulted in an ongoing, hundred-year-long war against Palestine and its people.
I appreciated Khalidi's expansive analysis, and the fact that he attempted to check his own biases by explaining how Palestinian leaders and leaders of other Arab nations failed to take the necessary moves to help Palestine and its people. He also thoroughly explored just how severely the Palestinian people were set up to fail by powers around the world, and were never given a fighting chance or any authority over their future. I also thought it was interesting how Khalidi touched on how class differences affected the future of Palestine, as those of a higher class in Palestine and other Arab nations somewhat abandoned the Palestinian cause in favor of their own safety and privilege.
The actual text is quite dry and academic, made worse by my severely lacking knowledge of West Asia, its history, and its leading figures (I was googling something every 2 sentences), which made for very slow reading, but I believe the knowledge I gained thanks to the incredible research done by Rashid Khalidi makes up for the struggle I had.

At times, the author includes his own first hand accounts and those from family members. This adds an illuminating personal touch.
