Review Quotes

"Fateful Triangle may be the most ambitious book ever attempted on the conflict between Zionism and the Palestinians viewed as centrally involving the United States. It is a dogged expose of human corruption, greed, and intellectual dishonesty. It is also a great and important book, which must be read by anyone concerned with public affairs."
--Edward Said, from the foreword

"A devastating collection of charges aimed at Israeli and American policies that affect the Palestinian Arabs negatively."
--Library Journal

"Brilliant and Unscrupulous."
--Observer

"A major, timely and devastating analysis of one of the great tragedies."
--Fred Halliday, Tribune

"Formidable."
--The Jewish Quarterly

"One of the definitive works on the Israeli Palestinian conflict."
--Amy Goodman
