Book by Ilan Pappe draws on declassified Israeli military archives and survivor testimony to document the systematic expulsion of approximately 750,000 Palestinians during the 1948 war. Pappe argues that displacement resulted from a deliberate military plan, Plan Dalet, coordinated by Zionist military leadership rather than being a byproduct of conflict. Examines the massacres, village destruction, and organized expulsion campaigns that constituted the Nakba. One of the most influential works in the historiography of 1948.A key text for historians, students, and general readers seeking a rigorous and evidence-based account of the 1948 Nakba, Plan Dalet, and the systematic nature of Palestinian expulsion during the 1948 war.
