Critics Review
‘Will undoubtedly raise a lot of hackles in his home state.’
‘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.’
