| : |
Kirkus: "A careful, thorough, and intelligent work of journalistic history.", New Republic: "Segev's book is neither anti-Zionist nor pro-Arab. Both sides will find a great deal to anger them. Nor is Segev a 'new historian,' even if he is a provocateur....Segev...presents a mixture of arresting and even original chapters intermingled with far-fetched assertions, unsubstantiated statements, and occasionally a rather idiosyncratic interpretation of sources.", New York Times Book Review: "...Segev is unusually attuned to the hopes and dreams that both Arabs and Jews have invested in this divided land....[He] has written an enormously important book, perhaps the best single account of Palestine under the British Mandate.", New York Times Book Review: "[P]robably the best overall history of the period when Britain ruled the Middle East under League of Nations mandate....", Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.): "[Segev] approaches his story with independence and a refreshing empathy for all sides." |
