Ilan Pappé goes in depth about the Nakba and how and why Israel successfully covered it up to the point we must dig (literally) to find the remains of Palestine. 
It’s heartbreaking and informational and a must read to understand a fraction of the history of Palestine since Israel settled and colonized.

Despite being considered inaccurate or highly 'biased' by some, Pappe's history review from the Palestinian point-of-view is shocking yet well-written description on the Zionist persecution of Palestinians. Although being a highly disputed book, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine is an eye-opening read to start unraveling the hidden history. I value highly that Pappe at least aimed to include many Palestinian sources (though perhaps discarding others) and challenged the status-quo of Israeli history writing.
Regardless whether one considers Pappe a reliable writer and historian or not, this book is a great start to finding the truth. It's probable, nevertheless, the truth is still hidden to a great extend, thus more high-quality research is needed. I hope to find some truly objective history reviews that include wide range of sources concerning the subject. Yet Pappe's work was an alright 'first introduction'.

Well written and well researched. It a great non-Western perspective on Palestine, especially amidst all the Israeli and US propaganda.

So much important information that is shared pretty quickly. It was clear to follow how the ethnic cleansing began and cited many sources. I found some of the people and cities sometimes difficult to keep track of but a great resource to hold accountable the atrocities
