Review Quotes:
"Khalidi presents this history in clear language, unpacking complex terminology and historical concepts and organizing the material into short, clearly titled sections, making the detailed content accessible. The sequential structure helps readers follow shifting political trends while staying focused on the main topic. Spot art portraits, photos, maps, and text boxes add depth, and the visual design is inviting. Khalidi offers a compelling introduction for those seeking to understand Palestine's political history and the enduring legacy of occupation. Extensively documented and deeply personal; an essential read."--Kirkus, starred review
