Jean-Pierre Filiu is Professor of Middle East Studies at Sciences Po in Paris, and has held visiting professor--ships at both Columbia University and Georgetown University. His latest book The Arab Revolution: Ten Lessons from the Democratic Uprising was published by Hurst in 2011.
'This history ranks as a masterpiece in the literature of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It tells us the facts, explains both sides of the coin and leaves readers to draw their conclusions. Its timing, of course, could not be better.' - Sunday Times 'Superbly researched and well written, Filiu's work is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand contemporary affairs in the Middle East and the relationship between the state of Israel and the Palestinian people.' - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review '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 rivalled 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
