A review by mellowbry
The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi

challenging dark informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

Now this is a prime example of what I fear whenever I'm bold enough to pick up a nonfiction novel. I think the reason I had trouble following this book compared to "The New Jim Crow" was because that book solely focused on U.S. history and its government/ communities while this book encompassed so many other countries/ governments/ communities because of the amount of manipulation, cruelty, and ignorance inflicted onto Palestine and the other countries severely affected by Israel's forced settlement. Nevertheless, I think this book is essential in understanding what's currently happening in Palestine and how the United States and the United Kingdom have permitted such horrendous atrocities to occur for far too long. The tragic anecdotes from the author himself were also a reflective touch to this already brutal and depressing history and reality.
Even if you've sworn off nonfiction forever, at least give this one the chance it deserves. 
From the river to the sea.
