Editorial Reviews

Review

"A brilliant achievement. This is by far the most comprehensive analysis of the political economy of Palestine and Palestinians in the twentieth century, based on original material rarely used by English-language scholars. Here, finally, is the transparent picture of the Arab-Israeli conflict given in full, fascinating detail." Hisham Sharabi, Times Literary Supplement"
