Publisher's Summary
From the author of the best-selling 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.
Published on the 15th anniversary of the Six-Day War that culminated in the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Pappe offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the world's most prolonged and tragic conflicts. Using recently declassified archival material, Pappe analyses 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".

The injustices done to the Palestinians.
This book is a much needed insight into the persecution of the Palestinian people. Especially relevant today as the ethnic cleansing of Gaza continues.

A Must Read
This is the second book I've read by Ilan Pappe on the Palestinian conflict. Very enlightening and even more pertinent given the current crisis (2023/2024) going on in Palestine. My heart goes out to the people of Palestine and I hope that one day you will be free from Oppression.

Important and very enlightening read.
It’s extraordinary that 3 years after WW2 and the surviving jews escaped the holocaust of Nazi Germany,, the Jews in Israel proceeded to do the same thing to the Palestinians for the next 80 years.
