Book by Adam Horowitz, Lizzy Ratner, and Philip Weiss presents an abridged version of the Goldstone Report, officially known as the "UN Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict," alongside contextual essays situating its findings and political aftermath. The UN investigation, led by South African jurist Richard Goldstone, documented war crimes and possible crimes against humanity committed during the 2008–09 assault on Gaza, also known as Operation Cast Lead. This edition addresses the subsequent controversy over the report, Israeli pressure to discredit it, and its lasting significance for international humanitarian law. Includes commentary and analysis by leading experts on Palestine, and a foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. A key reference for legal researchers, human rights advocates, and policy analysts studying the Goldstone Report, the 2008–09 War on Gaza, and the politics of international accountability for Israeli military operations.
