1948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War

An Accessible History of a War That Changed History
I approached this book with caution. I had not read any of Morris' prior books, fearful of his reputation (earned or not) for bashing the Israeli side without providing context for their actions. Though when I read history I already know how the story ends, I want ...

Ibtisam Barakat

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2007

Picking up the pieces
There aren't many books on the Palestinian situation available for children, and fewer still that are memoirs. I actually managed to pick up and read Ibtisam Barakat's, "Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood," without ever realized that it was more than mere ...

Resurrecting Empire: Western Footprints and America's Perilous Path in the Middle East
