The Hundred Years' War on Palestine

I wanted to talk about two of the many things that makes this a great book.
One, I think it's great at acknowledging and calling out the failures of Palestinian leadership throughout the decades. Even if you're staunchly pro-Palestine independence, it is important and useful to asses the diplomatic and political failures, so that we can improve upon them.
Two, the author is, like, the Forrest Gump of Palestine. He or his family members have been involved in almost every major event in Palestinian history since the early 20th century. Not only does this give a much-needed perspective on Palestine, but it also adds a lot of engaging details for the reader. Saying that Israel bombed Beirut is one thing; telling the story of how someone has to drive through a city in the middle of an invasion to pick up his daughters from school before they killed is quite another.
