Book Synopsis



Shortlisted for the Palestine Book Awards 2017A powerful, groundbreaking history of the Occupied Territories from one of Israel's most influential historians

From the author of the bestselling study of the 1948 War of Independence comes an incisive look at the Occupied Territories, picking up the story where The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine left off.

In this comprehensive exploration of one of the world's most prolonged and tragic conflicts, Pappe uses recently declassified archival material to analyse the motivations and strategies of the generals and politicians - and the decision-making process itself - that laid the foundation of the occupation. From a survey of the legal and bureaucratic infrastructures that were put in place to control the population of over one million Palestinians, to the security mechanisms that vigorously enforced that control, Pappe paints a picture of what is to all intents and purposes the world's largest 'open prison'.



Review Quotes




'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] 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"

'Pappe's book is critical for understanding the present situation and looking forward to possible solutions.'-- "CHOICE reviews"

'Will undoubtedly raise a lot of hackles in his home state.'-- "Irish Times"

'Ilan Pappe is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.'--John Pilger
