4.5

Extremely informative and eye opening perspective. Though dense at times, the author does a great job of laying out the facts without incessantly bogging you down with names and dates. You don’t need to be a Middle East history buff to understand the narrative being told as the author focuses specifically on the historical events that directly affected Palestine. Glad to have read this and expanded my knowledge on an extremely complicated issue.
