Reviews

'A remarkable testament of how evil can become routinised, and of the impact of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on one of the most vulnerable segments of Palestinian society'
*Rashid Khalidi, Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies, Middle East Institute, Columbia University*

'No other book has concentrated so clearly on the issue of Palestinian children in this context and it provides a chilling insight into childhood as experienced by Palestinians'
*Peace News*

'The first book ever totally devoted to the subject of Israel's imprisonment of Palestinians under the age of 18, and it covers the issue meticulously, yet concisely'
*The Jordan Times*

'Meticulously documented and carefully researched, it is crystal clear and truly damning indictment of an abominable practice'
*Znet*

'A crucial informative synopsis of an issue that has been regrettably neglected for a long time and for that reason deserves to be read.'
*Cairo Times*
