## Description

The New York Times Bestseller Palestine Book Award Winner Shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize Named the Best Book of 2020 by Foreign Affairs A landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family history In 1899, Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, mayor of Jerusalem, alarmed by the Zionist call to create a Jewish national home in Palestine, wrote a letter aimed at Theodore Herzl: the country had an indigenous people who would not easily accept their own displacement. He warned of the perils ahead, ending his note, “in the name of God, let Palestine be left alone.” Thus Rashid Khalidi, al-Khalidi’s great-great-nephew, begins this sweeping history, the first general account of the conflict told from an explicitly Palestinian perspective. Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members―mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists― The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age. He highlights the key episodes in this colonial campaign, from the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the destruction of Palestine in 1948, from Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon to the endless and futile peace process. Original, authoritative, and important , The Hundred Years' War on Palestine is not a chronicle of victimization, nor does it whitewash the mistakes of Palestinian leaders or deny the emergence of national movements on both sides. In reevaluating the forces arrayed against the Palestinians, it offers an illuminating new view of a conflict that continues to this day.

Review: A Definitive and Eye-Opening History of Palestine - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine is the best history book on Palestine that I have read. Rashid Khalidi presents a powerful narrative grounded in meticulous research and firsthand historical insight. He traces more than a century of conflict, colonialism, and resistance, offering a clear, well-documented understanding of how past events shape the present reality. What makes this book stand out is its balance of academic rigor with deeply human storytelling. Khalidi connects political decisions and global forces to the lived experiences of Palestinian families and communities, revealing the ongoing impact of displacement, occupation, and struggle. It’s an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict beyond headlines and simplified narratives. Informative, compelling, and deeply moving — truly a must-read for those who want to engage thoughtfully with Palestinian history and the fight for justice and self-determination.

Well written and informative book about Palestine without having to wade through propaganda

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating and well written. But not a complete view of the conflict.
*by M***N on July 11, 2024*

Professor Khalidi's book is passionate and informative and effectively advances his thesis that Israel is a colonial project that has been waging war on The Land's native inhabitants, the Palestinians, for over 100 years. Despite this thesis Khalidi still puts forth the Israeli point of view sincerely. Because of the quality of Khalidi's writing and argument "The Hundred Years' War" deserves 5 stars. However, this book is not a complete view of the conflict - nor does it claim to be. "Hundred Years' War" is short and cannot cover all of the conflict in 260 pages. However Khalidi's glaring rhetorical and historical omissions damage the work's value and venture into dishonesty. Most importantly, Khalidi never addresses the obvious ways that Zionism is vastly different from colonial projects. Furthermore, Khalidi never discusses, even in passing, the 1973 war, Israeli's unilateral withdrawal from Gaza (leaving it virtually entirely self-governed), and Iran's extensive threats against Israel and involvement in the conflict. Finally, Khalidi consistently depicts Israel as a power of almost mythical proportions, a towering behemoth impervious to attack and unfazed by its enemies. This categorization is almost completely in disregard of plain fact. When he discusses the 1948 war in the second chapter of his book, for example, he describes Israeli victory as all but certain, and never mentions that the hostile Arab's states population at the time was 20 million (Egypt) + 1.25 million (Syria) + 430,000 (Jordan) + 1.3 million (Lebanon) + 5 million (Iraq) = ~28 million while Israel's population was roughly 800,000. Khalidi also doesn't mention that the Arabs were far better equipped than the Israelis. The complete lack of mention of these critical facts and countless others severely degrades "The Hundred Years' War" 's value.
