In this comprehensive exploration of one of the world’s most prolonged and tragic conflicts, Pappe uses recently declassified archival material to analyse the motivations and strategies of the generals and politicians – and the decision-making process itself – that laid the foundation of the occupation. From a survey of the legal and bureaucratic infrastructures that were put in place to control the population of over one million Palestinians, to the security mechanisms that vigorously enforced that control, Pappe paints a picture of what is to all intents and purposes the world’s largest ‘open prison’. Review: Well-written, well-documented must read book on Israeli treatment of Palestinians - Since the 1970s Professor Pappe has studied. researched and documented the history of the Palestinan/Israel tragedy. He was born a Jew; served in the Israeli army; and taught at Israeli higher education until he was shunned by colleagues because he began to write about the "hidden" truths of the tragedy. He's one of the very few authorities on the topic; read every book he has written to be accurately informed. Review: Excellent, like all of Ilan Pappe's work - This is the fourth Pappe book I have read. While some of his books (including this one) are hard to read because of their content, they offer invaluable information that is not widely known by the general public. If you are interested in getting a better idea of the history of what is going on in Gaza today, I highly recommend this book. Thank you again, Prof. Pappe, for your insights and for your bravery. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #283,085 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #61 in Human Rights (Books) #287 in Middle Eastern Politics #287 in Israel & Palestine History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 383 Reviews | ## Images ![The Biggest Prison on Earth: A History of Gaza and the Occupied Territories - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81smsXyyQ9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-written, well-documented must read book on Israeli treatment of Palestinians *by P***R on May 10, 2024* Since the 1970s Professor Pappe has studied. researched and documented the history of the Palestinan/Israel tragedy.
