"The Hundred Years' War on Palestine" by Rashid Khalidi presents a comprehensive history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict from a Palestinian perspective. It begins with an 1899 letter from Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, the author's ancestor, warning against Zionist plans in Palestine. Khalidi uses archival materials and family reports to challenge traditional narratives of the conflict as a mere clash over territory. He argues that it's a century-long colonial war against Palestinians, led by Zionists and later Israel, with support from Britain and the U.S. The book covers major events like the Balfour Declaration, the 1948 destruction of Palestine, and Israel’s 1982 Lebanon invasion. Khalidi aims to provide a balanced account, acknowledging Palestinian leadership flaws and the rise of national movements on both sides and offering a fresh perspective on an ongoing conflict.
