One Palestine, Complete
by Tom Segev
This book is the antidote to the previous book which is a more fantastical version of the same time in history. Tom Segev I rate very, very highly. He is a crusty thinker and I don’t always agree with him. But, if you think that English is his second language, he is an extremely good writer and this book looks at the Arab community with a very empathetic intellectual and open attitude.
