'A courageous, honest painful personal account of what goes on in
Israel to silence dissent and to curb freedom of thought and
expression'
*Mariam C. Said*
'In this long-awaited intellectual autobiography, Ilan Pappe,
Israel's most important critical historian charts the real road map
to Israel's ideological dismantling and to reconciliation with the
Palestinians via the non-violent Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
campaign'
*Ronit Lentin, Head of Sociology, Trinity College Dublin*
'Pappe takes us through his own development from child of a solid
zionist family into a historian in conflict with his own society's
view of its past. He describes this intellectual and moral journey
in the measured tone of an academic, but also with his customary
humanistic sensitivity to the suffering so many ignore'
*Allan Cameron, Writer and Translator*
'In this remarkable intellectual history and autobiography, Ilan
Pappe shows why he changed his mind from the Zionist consensus, and
how he resisted Zionist pressure to deny his findings and his
conscience. His work shines with steadfastness, humour, and
hope'
*Professor James Holstun, University of Buffalo, New York*
