Book by Rashid Khalidi frames the history of Palestine from the 1917 Balfour Declaration as a sustained colonial war against the Palestinian people. Drawing on family archives and diplomatic records, Khalidi traces British and US responsibility for enabling Israeli settler colonialism across six major confrontations. A sweeping account addressing the Nakba, the occupation, Palestinian resistance, and the structural obstacles to self-determination. A foundational text for anyone researching the long history of settler colonialism in Palestine, the role of British and US power in enabling Israeli policies, and the structural roots of Palestinian dispossession across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
