"[T]he State of Israel has a case to answer for in its appalling treatment of the Palestinian people." This is the conclusion Pratt (foreign editor, Sunday Herald, UK) has drawn from 20 years of covering the Israel-Palestine conflict from both sides of the "Green Line," the border between Israel and Palestine delineated by the United Nations. He distills those years in this book, which describes Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation from the outbreak of the first Intifada in 1987 through mid-2006. The conflict is largely described from the perspective of his on-the-ground reportorial eye, but necessary political background is included.
