جزییات کتاب
A powerful, groundbreaking history of the Occupied Territories from one of Israel's most influential historians
From the author of the bestselling study of the 1948 War of Independence comes an incisive look at the Occupied Territories, picking up the story where The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine left off.
In this comprehensive exploration of one of the world's most prolonged and tragic conflicts, Pappe uses recently declassified archival material to analyse the motivations and strategies of the generals and politicians - and the decision-making process itself - that laid the foundation of the occupation. From a survey of the legal and bureaucratic infrastructures that were put in place to control the population of over one million Palestinians, to the security mechanisms that vigorously enforced that control, Pappe paints a picture of what is to all intents and purposes the world's largest ‘open prison'.
Reviews
‘[Pappe] boldly and persuasively argues for understanding the occupied territories as the world's "largest ever mega-prison”... Pappe's conclusions won't be welcome in all quarters but this detailed history is rigorously supported by primary sources.'
- Publishers Weekly
'Ilan Pappe is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.'
- John Pilger
'A grim, hard-hitting look at the nuts and bolts of Israeli occupation.'
- Kirkus
