This book is incredibly informative, and I appreciated the degree of detail Pappé has included when recounting the historical events related to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. I was especially thankful to learn more about the methods used by Israeli leaders to cover up the history of Palestine and Palestinians on the land.

It is a horrifying book, knowing that these are real events, so it is a very difficult read. While Pappé explains events in an approachable manner, it is a dense book, full of names and dates, so I am glad that I have taken my time with it.
