This historical account of the Nakba is thorough, but I didn't find it overly dense or academic.

Es, sin lugar a dudas, un libro completamente necesario de leer por más desgarrador; es imposible seguir ocultando una realidad irracional y desaforada como la que pretende reescribir el movimiento sionista.
A pesar de la trepidación que supo generar esta lectura (y la actual situación en Palestina), me incitó a priorizar el estudio del caso que engloba Israel y sionismo, judaísmo, cristianismo, capitalismo, colonización, etc. Y si bien me quedo con un mal gusto en la boca al terminar el libro, no es por nada en absoluto culpa de Pappe, más bien, me da un poco de alivio y, a la vez, me hace sentir peor cuanto supo humanizar a los palestinos nativos, reconocer y honorar sus historias, aunque a eso le siguiera la tragedia.
Espero que muchísima más gente se digne a leer este libro de una buena vez y sepan reconocer la ilegitimidad ética de un Estado colonial tanto como fue y sigue siendo en las historias de todos los continentes y países invadidos, explotados y genocidados del mundo.

It is written by Ilan Pappé, an Israeli Historian who writes with cutting truth about the situation that has been unfolding since 1917. It exposes the hidden darkness behind the Zionist belief system, and analyses the multiple different battles (though battles makes it seem as though there was a fair playing field) with a blinding floodlight, laying it the facts in an incredibly accessible way.
In addition to all that, the narrator for the audiobook was excellent. they were extremely engaging, and kept me hooked for the audiobook’s entirety!
I highly recommend this one for anyone seeking to know more about Palestine.
