Summary
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Shortlisted for the 2020 Cundill History Prize
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 siege. The result is a profoundly moving account of a hundred-year-long war of occupation, dispossession and colonialisation.
Critic reviews
'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

An incredible and essential read for our times
This is a fascinating, well balanced and well researched book. In the light of what is happening in the Middle East today, it is essential that we educate ourselves and listen to both sides of the story.

Unbiased and personal account
Really liked how the author, Rashid Khalifa, outlined the history of the Palestine struggle in a way that stuck to facts, positive and negative, and gave the reader a well balanced idea of the current situation based on the history.
Highly recommend this book for a detailed outline of the Palestine struggle.
