HUNDRED YEARS WAR ON PALESTINE (PB)

The twentieth century for Palestine and the Palestinians was a century of denial - of statehood, nationhood and history. Drawing on family archives, his own experiences and accounts by journalists, poets and resistance leaders, Columbia professor Rashid Khalidi reclaims the fundamental right of any people: to narrate their history on their own terms. From the final days of the Ottoman empire, through critical developments including Zionism, the Nakba, the Six Day War, occupation and intifada, this is the story of a hundred-year-long war.
