James Fergusson is a freelance journalist and foreign correspondent who has written for many publications, including The Independent, The Times, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail, and The Economist. He is the author of seven books, including the award-winning A Million Bullets.
“James Fergusson gives the reader a vivid understanding of the
intricacies of occupation in Israel-Palestine by showing how the
issue of water has been weaponised. The book describes the strange
geography of the River Jordan and the vanishing Dead Sea, and gives
lively descriptions of people and places along the way.”—Raja
Shehadeh, author of We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I: A
Palestinian Memoir
“In this beautifully descriptive, scrupulously objective, and
profoundly important book, James Fergusson exposes the shamefully
unequal allocation of vital water resources between Israelis and
Palestinians—while daring to dream that righting this wrong could
be a first step towards a just peace.”—Donald Macintyre, author of
Gaza: Preparing for Dawn
“Presents a vivid and enlightening new angle on the Middle East’s
most intractable conflict. Fergusson’s book is both a highly
readable and engaging travelogue and a nuanced political analysis
of the balance of power in contemporary Israel-Palestine.”—William
Sutcliffe, author of The Wall
“A beautifully conceived and written book. That contemporary
Israel-Palestine is a land of both environmental destruction and
hydro-apartheid is not news. But in Fergusson’s hands, these brute
realities are revealed in the most sensitive, compelling and
accessible of styles.”—Jan Selby, author of Water, Power and
Politics in the Middle East
“James Fergusson’s meticulous search for each rivulet, stream,
mountain aquifer, sewage pipe and desalination plant concludes with
a crystal-clear vision of an ecological reconciliation. Anyone
interested in peace should read this book.”—Nick Thorpe, author of
The Road Before Me Weeps
