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.

  • A riveting and authentic view on the Hundred Years War on Palestine.

    Rashid Khalidi's book on the Hundred Years War on Palestine is a scholarly masterpiece. It commences with the Zionist's intentions to convert Palestine into a Zionist state at the turn of the 20th century and proceeds to describe the early claim of Jews on Palestine in 1917 supported by its then British colonisers' Balfour declaration. It follows with a detailed description of the wars between Israel and Palestine and neighboring states over the following 100 years. The book provides great detail of the influencers, first by the British and then America, in supporting Israel to expand its control over Palestine. The book calls on historical documents and statements by countless engaged leaders and politicians to support the factual basis for the book, as well as the author's personal experiences in living in Palestine and surrounding states as well as his experiences as a diplomat and negotiator. The Hundred Years War on Palestine is a detailed historical work, well researched, supported by source documents and easy to read.
