The Hundred Years' War on Palestine

Khalidi — a Palestinian American historian whose family has lived in Jerusalem for centuries — frames the history of Palestine since 1917 as a colonial war waged in six distinct campaigns against a native population by a settler movement backed by successive imperial powers: Britain first, then the United States. He is scrupulous with evidence, exact with dates, and completely clear about what he is arguing. The most rigorous single-volume history of the Palestinian experience ever written in English. A dispatch from inside a history that has been systematically misrepresented and a corrective that cannot be dismissed as polemic.
