Rashid Khalidi, The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine.



- This book is unbelievably good. It’s a must read if you want a detailed background to the current Israel/Gaza war.

- Since its publication in 2020 it's been universally lauded by noted scholars and the supporters of Palestine and its struggles over the last 100 years. It's full of detail yet its lucid prose makes it very readable. 

- Khalidi is a Palestinian-American historian and the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University. 

- Here is a recent piece Khalidi wrote for The Guardian on the current Israel/Hamas war.
