With this invitation, Palestine: A Primer offers a powerful introduction to Palestinian history through a century of conflict and resistance. Blending incisive research with his own family memories, celebrated scholar Rashid Khalidi traces Palestine's story from the British occupation to Israel's ongoing colonial war.
