SynopsisA landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family history In 1899, Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, mayor of Jerusalem, alarmed by the Zionist call to create a Jewish national home in Palestine, wrote a letter aimed at Theodore Herzl: the country had an indigenous people who would not easily accept their own displacement. He warned of the perils ahead, ending his note, "in the name of God, let Palestine be left alone." Thus Rashid Khalidi, al-Khalidi's great-great-nephew, begins this sweeping history, the first general account of the conflict told from an explicitly Palestinian perspective. Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members--mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists-- The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age. He highlights the key episodes in this colonial campaign, from the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the destruction of Palestine in 1948, from Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon to the endless and futile peace process. Original, authoritative, and important , The Hundred Years' War on Palestine is not a chronicle of victimization, nor does it whitewash the mistakes of Palestinian leaders or deny the emergence of national movements on both sides. In reevaluating the forces arrayed against the Palestinians, it offers an illuminating new view of a conflict that continues to this day.

Worth reading because the author was on scene for some important historical events.
The State of Israel is more a product of World War I and World War II than a deliberate attempt by Great Britain and The United States to colonize Palestine. The book fails to make the case that Israel is a colonial settler project. Absent WWI and WWII, Israel would be just a collection of Jewish estates in Palestine governed by The Ottoman Empire.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

See above
Very well written makes it easy to read and it is packed with info. I am not an expert on the subject and some can argue some of the information but generally it is all very informative, all-sided, and a great teaching book, worth every minute to read!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Things we did not know
Many people do not know about the history of Palestine and its people. Israel has a strong lobby and a lot of political influence. If you read this book you may change your opinion on what Israel is doing and what they have done in the past.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
