History

A Genocide Foretold confronts the stark realities of life under siege in Gaza and the heroic effort ordinary Palestinians are waging to resist and survive. Weaving together personal stories, historical context, and unflinching journalism, Chris Hedges provides an intimate portrait of systemic oppression, occupation, and violence. The book includes chapters on:

● What life is like in Gaza City and Ramallah in the midst of approaching bombs and gunfire.

● The history of the dispossession of Palestinians of their land in relation to the ideology of Zionism.

● A portrait of Amr, a seventeen-year-old high school student who is forced to evacuate his village with his family.

● Psychoanalysis of the state of permanent war that has led to the destruction of hospitals, telecommunications centers, governmental buildings, roads, homes universities, schools, and libraries and archaeological and heritage sites in Gaza.

● The ways in which the collective retribution against innocents is a familiar tactic employed by colonial rulers.

● A heartbreaking final chapter called "Letter to the Children of Gaza."
