Summary: Ranging from the Palestinian struggle against colonial rule and the establishment of the State of Israel to the current rivalry between Hamas and Fatah. this is an unflinching and sobering critique of the Palestinian failure to achieve statehood. as well as a balanced account of the odds ranged against them. Rashid Khalidi brings perspective to Palestinian attempts to achieve independence and statehood. Bringing together the latest scholarship. he concentrates on the period of the British Mandate (1920-1948). describing the process by which a European Jewish minority overcame the claims and rights of the native Arab majority.
