A History of Modern Palestine

Placing at its centre the voices of the men, women, children, peasants, workers, town-dwellers, Jews & Arabs of Palestine, who lived through these times, this tells a story of co-existence & co-operation, as well as oppression, occupation, & exile, exposing patterns of continuity as well as points of fracture. 

Now in an updated third edition, Pappe draws links between contemporary events, from war in Lebanon, violence in the Gaza Strip & the Arab Spring, with the long history of Palestine, taking into account the success of Israel without neglecting the on-going catastrophe suffered by Palestinians, leaving hope for a better future for all who live in, or were expelled, from Palestine.
