About this listen
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

Eye opening content.
I chose this book because I was previously ignorant of the whole story and wanted to learn what I feel now is a more balanced view of the history than that generally spoken about. If the whole world read this book I believe the struggle for peace between Israel and Palestine would become a reality.

Facts are important
This is a no nonsense, factual book, seemingly devoid of nostalgia and ideology. For anyone who wants a truthful perspective on the 100 years of torture inflicted, by the collective west, on these poor people this is the book.

Great Overview of the long running global issue
This book is a must for everyone interested in the Palestinian issue which has impacted one way or another just about everybody living on planet earth today (21st Century). No one can discuss the issue impartially without understanding all the facts presented.
The reader did a splendid job, though I wish there was announcement before each chapter and perhaps a title and brief description.

Must read
What a harrowing and heartbeaking read.
I purchased this to get a better understanding of the history of Palestine, due to the current situation.
I have learnt so much. Such a well written account of the past 100+ years.
I reccomend everyone to read this book. I hope the next revision will have a new chaper - peace at last.

Comprehensive and evidence based
An excellent and detailed analysis of a very long colonial war on Palastine. Very informative and an insightful personal perspective from Rashid. I only wish he could have extended it to cover the genocide currently taking place in Gaza.

Brilliant reading. Eye opening version from the other side for once. Recommend to anyone looking for a counterbalance to the one sided American propaganda

Fantastic run through for those new (and I would imagine old) to the issue of Palestine
This was informative AND engaging - not a title all historical texts can claim. Gave a really substantial background as well as a look towards the potential future.

Masterful work
This was a thorough look at the timeline of events leading up to and throughout the occupation of Palestine. Definitely one for the shelf.
