Summary In a follow-up to his critically acclaimed investigation of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in the 1940s, a renowned Israeli historian—drawing on groundbreaking archival research, NGO records and eyewitness accounts—turns his attention to the annexation and occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.
"Publishing on the fiftieth anniversary of the Six-Day War that culminated in the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Pappe offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the world's most prolonged and tragic conflicts. Using recently declassified archival material, Pappe analyses 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"" -- provided by publisher.
