This standout among is an indispensable guide to understanding the Israel–Palestine conflict, and how we might yet still find a way out of it.
'Ilan Pappé is the most original, radical and hard-hitting of Israel’s "new historians".' Avi Shlaim, author of Three Worlds
The devastation of 7 October 2023 and the horrors that followed astounded the world. But the Israel–Palestine conflict didn’t start on 7 October. It didn’t start in 1967 either, when Israel occupied the West Bank, or in 1948 when the state of Israel was declared. It started in 1882, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in what was then Ottoman Palestine. Ilan Pappé untangles the history of two peoples, now sharing one land. Going back to the founding fathers of Zionism, Pappé expertly takes us through the twists and turns of international policy towards Israel–Palestine, Palestinian resistance to occupation, and the changes taking place in Israel itself.
