Summary
This rich and magisterial work traces Palestine's millennia-old heritage, uncovering cultures and societies of astounding depth and complexity that stretch back to the very beginnings of recorded history.
Starting with the earliest references in Egyptian and Assyrian texts, Nur Masalha explores how Palestine and its Palestinian identity have evolved over thousands of years, from the Bronze Age to the present day. Drawing on a rich body of sources and the latest archaeological evidence, Masalha shows how Palestine's multicultural past has been distorted and mythologized by Biblical lore and the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
In the process, Masalha reveals that the concept of Palestine, contrary to accepted belief, is not a modern invention or one constructed in opposition to Israel, but rooted firmly in ancient past. Palestine represents the authoritative account of the country's history.

thorough and broad information
this book really opened my eyes to the colonial roots of current world issues and covers aspects of language, cartography, politics, ancient history and the involvement of different European cultures in the Middle East.. excellent read for those trying to understand history away from colonial bias.

Unfortunately Really poorly narrated
I downloaded this book as it seemed to be another alternative perspective to the Palestine situation - unfortunately it’s so hard to listen to I am really struggling
Whilst there is undoubtedly interesting content here I have tried multiple times and just can’t listen more than 20 mins at a time
Sorry to be negative but it’s disappointing
