Renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappe's groundbreaking book revisits the formation of the State of Israel. Between 1947 and 1949, over 400 Palestinian villages were deliberately destroyed, civilians were massacred, and around a million men, women, and children were expelled from their homes at gunpoint.

Denied for almost six decades, had it happened today it could only have been called "ethnic cleansing." Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord in the course of this war, Ilan Pappe offers impressive archival evidence to demonstrate that, from its very inception, a central plank in Israel's founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. This is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the current crisis in the Middle East.

It’s so much more important than anything to bring all the people together to put a stop to genocide around the world.

This was a hard listen, but I’m glad I did. I’m ashamed of what I did not know prior to reading. 4 stars on the performance because I just had a hard time tracking with his voice, but I did appreciate the pronunciation being (seemingly) accurate.

It is a historical book so for some may be boring but it shows those elements of the history which are not very popular and widely known. The lector was struggling a lot with original names what was natural but also little bit irritating sometimes

Interesting book, trusted source

As an American who has only learned Israel’s version of the history of the formation of Israel, this book really opened my eyes. The fact that my tax dollars continue to fund this genocide is unacceptable.

All Americans should read this

Normally I just give five star reviews to any book I like as a thank you to the author, but this is different. This book was equal parts gripping and harrowing. There was so much about the Nakbe and the suffering of the Palestinians that I didn’t know, and at times I had to force myself to continue listening because what I was hearing was so terrible. Thank you so much to Ilan Pappe and the rest of the New Israeli Historians for all of your work. It has truly changes my outlook on life.

Truly fantastic. Gripping and heart-wrenching

A very important and necessary read that tells the true history of how Israel came to be, and the horrific displacement, colonization, and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians committed by the Zionist Israeli government.

A must read

This book uncovers the true history of Israel’s founding and I’m so doing correctly contextualizes current events in Israel/Palestine.

Necessary reading for all
