Review

'this is the only work of its kind in English - a necessary addition for any public or academic library. Most appealing is its accessibility for both academic and lay readers, its breadth of topics, and its extensive bibliography.' Reference and User Services Quarterly 'The work succeeds in succinctly and impartially conveying the facts of Palestinian history and society. As peace evolves in the Middle East, it will be a valuable resource for general and advanced users.' Reference Books Bulletin
