challenging dark informative medium-paced

It seems unfair to rate this, considering I didn't realise I was somewhat in over my head with this book. It is a descriptive, detailed and well structured timeline from the early idea of occupying and colonising Palestine's land and resources. The author, has made it very interesting by mixing historical texts, anecdotes and many first-person accounts to paint a picture of the country's tragic history throughout the 20th century. 

It was however, too dense for me, a d I struggled many times to follow the text (the audiobook was great!) Again, I think this was on me, I should've tried other texts that were more introductory before this one. If you are familiar with the topic, I think it'll be a great read for you.
