The late great author and documentary filmmaker John Pilger called Ilan Pappe “Israel’s bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.” Richard Falk, Professor of International Law at Princeton wrote: “Ilan Pappe has written a book that is of profound relevance to the past, present and future of Israel/Palestine relations.”
