Review
"This history ranks as a masterpiece in the literature of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It tells the facts, explains both sides of the coin and leaves readers to draw their conclusions. [...] An excellent but sobering book."
--Michael Sheridan, The Sunday Times
"Jean-Pierre Filiu's authoritative and well-sourced history of Gaza from earliest times to the end of 2011 fills a serious gap. Even those who know Gaza well will find much in this book to enlighten them."
--The Independent
"Jean-Pierre Filiu tells the story of Gaza's modern political history in impressive detail."
--David Shulman, New York Review of Books
"Superbly researched and well written, Filiu's work is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand contemporary affairs in the Middle East and the relationship between the state of Israel and the Palestinian people."
--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"In this thoroughly researched, comprehensive, and deftly written historical account of the Gaza Strip beginning with the Hyksos from 18th century BCE and extending to the present, Filiu... has arguably written the best book on Gaza's history. He shows the historical intricacies between
political and military developments and how such processes have shaped the Arab-Israeli conflict. [...] A must read for students and scholars of the modern Middle East, and anyone who wants to understand Palestinian history."
