A History of Modern Palestine

One Land, Two Peoples

Ilan Pappé presents a history of Palestine from the early nineteenth century to the early twenty-first, tracing Ottoman rule, Zionist immigration, the British Mandate, the creation of Israel in 1948, and the later wars and intifadas. The book centers both Palestinians and Jews, examining nationalism, displacement, occupation, coexistence, and everyday life across the contested land.
