About this product

Product Information

'Riveting and original ... a work enriched by solid scholarship, vivid personal experience, and acute appreciation of the concerns and aspirations of the contending parties in this deeply unequal conflict ' - Noam Chomsky The twentieth century for Palestine and the Palestinians has been a century of denial: denial of statehood, denial of nationhood and denial of history. The Hundred Years War on Palestine is Rashid Khalidi's powerful response. Drawing on his family archives, he reclaims the fundamental right of any people: to narrate their history on their own terms. Beginning in the final days of the Ottoman Empire, Khalidi reveals nascent Palestinian nationalism and the broad recognition by the early Zionists of the colonial nature of their project. These ideas and their echoes defend Nakba - the Palestinian term for the establishment of the state of Israel - the cession of the West Bank and Gaza to Jordan and Egypt, the Six Day War and the occupation. Moving through these critical moments, Khalidi interweaves the voices of journalists, poets and resistance leaders with his own accounts as a child of a UN official and a resident of Beirut during the 1982 seige. The result is a profoundly moving account of a hundred-year-long war of occupation, dispossession and colonialisation.

  • Excellent book, well written.

    The current conflict in Israel and Gaza prompted me to find out more about the history of it. This book gives a factual and well researched account from the roots of the zionist movement at the end of the 19th century to the early 21st century. You only need to read the 15 pages of the introduction to get the key events and main players in the saga. The detail that follows in the book is a real eye-opener to how the Israeli state came in to being. You only need to look through the reviews at the front to realise the accuracy and knowledge with which it was written despite the author being an interested party. It is praised by people from both sides for its impartiality.
