Published on the 15th anniversary of the Six-Day War that culminated in the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Pappe offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the world's most prolonged and tragic conflicts. Using recently declassified archival material, Pappe analyses the motivations and strategies of the generals and politicians-and the decision-making process itself - that laid the foundation of the occupation. Pappe paints a picture of what is to all intents and purposes the world's largest "open prison".

Story
Islam has been one of the most powerful religious, social, and political forces in history. Over the last 1,400 years, from origins in Arabia, a succession of Muslim polities, and later empires expanded to control territories and peoples that ultimately stretched from southern France to East Africa and South East Asia. Yet many of the contributions of Muslim thinkers, scientists, and theologians, not to mention rulers, statesmen, and soldiers, have been occluded. This book rescues from oblivion and neglect some of these personalities and institutions.

Many people in the West look upon the Second Sino-Japanese War, which took place in the 1930s and 1940s, as a sort of sideshow to the larger Second World War, but there is no separating the two. Imagine the Pacific War, the theater of World War II that took place in the Pacific. If the Japanese were not busy fighting on another front, they would have had millions of more troops available to fight the Americans and the British. In all likelihood, World War II would have ended the same way, but it would have taken much longer and cost that many more lives.

In 1965, the US government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the 20th century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful.

It explains exactly how the old antagonism between these two powers inflamed the more familiar modern rivalry between the Arabs and the Jews and ultimately led to war between the British and the French in 1941 and between the Arabs and the Jews in 1948.

Drawing on his own life and his work as a psychoanalyst to explore how colonialism's subjects internalize its prejudices, eventually emulating the 'white masks' of their oppressors, it established Fanon as a revolutionary anti-colonialist thinker.

With guns and money, the United States has ever since sustained the extremists, including Osama Bin Laden, who have become its enemies.

Between December 13, 1937, and the beginning of February 1938, Japanese soldiers entered the Chinese city of Nanjing, following a very brief fight for the city. For over six weeks, they committed some of the worst atrocities, first against the Chinese soldiers after they surrendered, then against the civilians. The Westerners who did not flee from the city prior to the Japanese arrival set up a safety zone in the weeks leading up to the Imperial Army entering the city. This was the only place where there was relative safety.

A DARK PERIOD IN MODERN HISTORY
- By Helen Unsworth on 03-09-21
Summary
Renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappe's groundbreaking book revisits the formation of the State of Israel. Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred, and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint.
Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called "ethnic cleansing." Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord in the course of this war, Ilan Pappe offers impressive archival evidence to demonstrate that, from its very inception, a central plank in Israel's founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. This is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East.

A very emotional read.
After reading the book, I found
that it was very painful to accept the conclusion. How the state of Israel could commit such actions reminiscent of the actions meted out on the European Jews less than 5 years previously. A whole jndigenous population was virtually uprooted from their Homeland and forced into camps that are still their homes after over 70 years. The World looked on and did nothing. The UN passed resolutions against Israel that were not carried through. Israel is not very nice!

Zionism soon after the Nais
Words can barely express the despair experienced reading this chronology of Israeli barbarism, and their continued oppression of the Palestinian people which began soon after the second world war. A history which has been suppressed by the mainstream media within the UK, whom, instead, favour portraying the Palestinians as equally to blame for their plight in the worlds largest open air prison. I am ashamed to discover how complicit my government was in the atrocities committed by the Israeli's across 1947-1949 especially given we had a duty to protect them. Pappe focuses primarily upon the aforementioned period, and he provides a meticulous account of the shocking atrocities committed in the name of Zionism in village after village whilst the world turned a blind eye. I have come away from this read believing in boycotting everything Israeli until Palestine is returned to the Palestinians. If I were a politician I would have absolutely no reservations standing by this conviction in public. In-fact, I would actively promote boycott and divestment where Israel is concerned. Shame on Israel.

Great insight to the Palestinian view
wanting to know about the conflict I have been researching both Israeli and Palestinian views. This book gives a very clear explanation of how the Palestinians consider the actions of Israel to be ethnic cleansing.
some parts of the book focus on towns and names which can be tricky to follow on audio, but these are brief and not essential to understand fully.

Thorough review of Palestinian genocide
Super thorough and informative! A lot of the same though: suffering on suffering. The last half was a bit difficult to get through, just had the "I know what's going to happen, more death, more destruction, more human rights atrocities". Everything blended together into one pool of suffering and cruelty. However, that's the reality.

The Root of the Conflict
The unfortunate struggle of the Palestinian people, who's rich history had been systematically wiped out, and their people cleansed, both by the killing of and also expulsion of them. The book tells of the events that happened in and around 1948, when European Zionist Jews came to settle on another people's (Palestinian Arab's) land, and how they managed to ethnically cleanse Palestine, village by village, town by town, person by person. It discusses the military plans, as well as actions taken and the influence of the terror groups (Haganah and Stern Gang) who were one of the main players in their ruthless cleansing of an innocent, people, acting as their military. Whether it was their use of flame throwers on some occasions against innocent women and children, poisoning of Palestinian water systems with typhoid on others, or just destruction of villages and housing and placing mines on ruins to prevent people coming back to collect the most basic and essential things, this book talks of the ruthlessness of these settlers when forming their new state, on top of a people who already lived there who had a rich history. I would highly recommend everyone to read/listen to this book, to get an understanding of what is the root cause of the issue in Palestine today.

Important history, very poor voice performance
This book, by a Jewish Israeli, documents the narrative that is rarely heard in the propaganda-flooded mainstream conversation about the history of Israel and Palestine. It provides an important historical analysis of what happened to the Palestinians during the Nakba, "the great catastrophe": the 1948 establishment of Israel. The book is best read in hardcopy or e-book format, because this audiobook version unfortunately suffers from an extremely poor voice performance. The narrator would have been suitable for a documentary film, but here, his performance is pedantic, overacted, and out of proportion to the material's format. His Sephardic Hebrew and Arabic pronunciations are exaggerated, artificial, and sometimes incorrect.

A powerful and challenging read
I’m not going to get into the nuances of this book but I believe that the author has a deep knowledge of the challenges facing the situation and the credibility to back his argument. As a Jew who was raised to support the state of Israel and see Zionism as a means of survival, this read was incredibly difficult but necessary. I will warn that The author makes no attempt to see the actions of Zionist actors in any light other than somewhat malicious intent. This book has a strict focus on the events of 1948 and does not discuss Israeli Arab relationships prior to 1948 in anyway. I still have questions I need to learn more about the subject.
The hardest part of this audiobook for me was the reader used a weird Israeli impression when reading quotations from historical texts. I wish that this has been a straight read instead of doing these crude caricatures of Israeli accents.
Regardless, this is a very important book and any Zionist who completes the literature and has a problem with it should certainly find a way to dismantle the discussion in an academic setting

Pappe; history; and his goal
Pappe’s book would be done if it were only the first two thirds, which documents his thesis.
That he glosses over many events and omits others is besides the point, because he does a good job documenting specific events and how it created the ethnic cleansing he describes.
But that ain’t enough for Pappe.
He spends a bizarre amount of time on the JNF, the Israeli mindset, and other topics.
Pappe is clearly upset at nearly every aspect of Israel, and it comes through, unlike, say, Raja Shehada, who describe crimes in an almost detached way.
Pappe is a polemicist and wants to be seen as such.
Oh, and he cites Wikipedia in the beginning, which is a trash way to start (or finish) a book.
It’s still worth a read.

Very one sided and biased
Listened to it and I am really NOT a fan. Book is bashing Israel and is very one sided. Israel isn’t carrying out a policy of ethnic cleansing, within the green line over 30% of Israelis in northern Israel are Arabs. They are treated much better there than anywhere else in the Middle East. My family is originally from that region, Palestinian Christian and they left because of the violence perpetrated against them by their neighbors and NOT by the Israelis.
