The book interestingly began simply as Baconi's own effort to understand Israel's 2014 assault and the "moral stain on our collective conscience," as he says in the acknowledgements. It turned into a book from there. I believe he's Palestinian but doesn't live there - I'm not sure - but it's a more honest discussion than most can manage on this subject, so with a look. 

In a way, there's nothing new here, if you've been reading about Palestine long, since it moves through major agreements and historical phases of what people call the Palestinian Israeli peace process, but by the end, I still feel moved to recommend it.

It's free of the propaganda of the US or Israel describing the peace process or Hamas as terrorists, archiving all sorts of incorrect motives, so I think this is one of the more informative and descriptive presentations out there. 

You'll learn about Hamas's rise to power, what it is exactly, governance vs revolution, Islamism vs democracy (are they at odds as the US tries to say), as well as abundant legitimate criticism of their trajectory and governance. To understand any of that sufficiently, you have to read something like this that isn't a memoir, doesn't have the US government or media bias, though the former is great and the latter is most prevalent and hard to avoid.
