‘Ilan Pappe is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive
historian.’
*John Pilger*
‘[Pappe] boldly and persuasively argues for understanding the
occupied territories as the world’s “largest ever mega-prison”...
Pappe’s conclusions won’t be welcome in all quarters but this
detailed history is rigorously supported by primary sources.’
*Publishers Weekly*
‘A diagnostic survey of Israel's long-planned occupation of the
Palestinian's land... A grim, hard-hitting look at the nuts and
bolts of Israeli occupation.’
*Kirkus*
‘Will undoubtedly raise a lot of hackles in his home state.’
*Irish Times*
‘What is new in The Biggest Prison on Earth is Pappe's detailed
accounting of exactly what the Israeli planners were contemplating
in 1963; namely, "the largest ever mega-prison for a million and a
half people."’
*Electronic Intifada*
‘Pappe's book is critical for understanding the present situation
and looking forward to possible solutions.’
*CHOICE reviews*
