Palestine Betrayed

摘要

Palestine Betrayed may be a useful propaganda tool for fierce defenders of Zionism, but as an historical work, it is plodding and tedious. The author's desire to respond to each argument set forth by the "new historians" results in a repetitive, emotional work that feels more like a political rant than an historical study. Readers who are unfamiliar with the history of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict may gain a basic understanding of the events surrounding partition and Israeli statehood, but they would be better served by reading a less biased version of events.
