“A valuable collection.”—The Economist

“Shlaim … provides a realpolitik reading of the history, demolishing the heroic and innocent image of Israel in its relations with the Palestinians.”—Foreign Affairs

“Wonderful … Not often today do we find historians who are this honest and this bleak and this able to express truth so simply.”—Robert Fisk, The Independent

“Shlaim does not aim at a comprehensive overview of the conflict so much as a running rebuttal of Israel’s version of it; an insurgency in the public relations war.”—Rafael Behr, Observer

“… a welcome and timely addition to the continuing debate on the Palestine-Israel conflict and its possible resolution.”—Journal of Palestine Studies
