Jean-Pierre Filiu is Professor of Middle East Studies at Sciences Po in Paris, and has held visiting professorships at both Columbia University and Georgetown University.
"A magnificent piece of historical writing: clear in its
exposition, careful in its use of a treasure-trove of new sources
and judicious in its analysis of competing political claims to this
small and troubled strip of land. It is difficult to see how it
will ever be rivaled in terms of scope, intensity and sympathetic
understanding." --Roger Owen, Emeritus Professor of Middle East
History, Harvard University
"Based on interviews and hard to find documents, Filiu's book is a
remarkable work of scholarship that will long stand as the standard
history of Gaza. In a subject area strewn with polemic, the author
is objective and level-headed." --John Calvert, Professor of
History, Creighton University, USA
"This history ranks as a masterpiece in the literature of the
Arab-Israeli conflict. It tells the facts, explains both sides of
the coin and leaves readers to draw their conclusions...An
excellent but sobering book." --Michael Sheridan, The Sunday
Times
"Jean-Pierre Filiu tells the story of Gaza's modern political
history in impressive detail."
--David Shulman, New York Review of Books
"Jean-Pierre Filiu's authoritative and well-sourced history of Gaza
from earliest times to the end of 2011 fills a serious gap. Even
those who know Gaza well will find much in this book to enlighten
them." --The Independent
