This was an incredible work on the part of the author. He clearly did an immense amount of research and I really enjoyed the attention to detail and time given to carefully deconstruct various arguments. I found this book to be an excellent background on the history of Israel-Palestine and its structure lent itself greatly to deconstructing pro-Israel propaganda on the internet.
As someone interested in more social aspects of history, the sheer amount of numbers and dates discussed was a little overwhelming for me. I also had a hard time following because I really don't know much at all about Middle Eastern history. These are all personal qualms though and have much more to do with me than the author, so I certainly don't want to dissuade anyone from reading this book!
