'Ilan Pappe is Israel's bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.' -- John Pilger '[Pappe] boldly and persuasively argues for understanding the occupied territories as the world's "largest ever mega-prison"... Pappe's conclusions won't be welcome in all quarters but this detailed history is rigorously supported by primary sources.' * Publishers Weekly * 'A diagnostic survey of Israel's long-planned occupation of the Palestinian's land... A grim, hard-hitting look at the nuts and bolts of Israeli occupation.' * Kirkus * 'Will undoubtedly raise a lot of hackles in his home state.' * Irish Times * 'What is new in The Biggest Prison on Earth is Pappe's detailed accounting of exactly what the Israeli planners were contemplating in 1963; namely, "the largest ever mega-prison for a million and a half people."' * Electronic Intifada * 'Pappe's book is critical for understanding the present situation and looking forward to possible solutions.' * CHOICE reviews *
